It is always morally correct to pirate Adobe.

Just so yall know, Firefox added a pdf editor.

Firefox just added PDF editing to the native browser!

To all the windows users out there, just use Okular its free and available in the Microsoft Store. its a KDE application and still better than Adobe imo.

PDF is not a format designed for editing. It's an export format designed to be a middle ground between a word processor and a printer.

You can bastardise extra layers onto it, but that's about it.

Not to be that guy, but there are plenty of free pdf editors that you can download

Money aside, Adobe tools for PDF have gotten worse. Ten years ago Adobe was much easier and robust.

All my opinion, of course.

Public service announcement: Open a PDF using Word and you can edit it, though sometimes the formatting gets weird.

Inkscape, which is free and open source, does a very competent job of taking part .pdfs and allowing you to modify them these days.

I still think it's crazy that, as a researcher who has to read a lot of PDFs, I can barely find any usable alternatives to Acrobat that have basic annotation features. This is especially true for Android platforms, where I do most of my reading.

pdf24 is very neat.

*opens issue on opensource bugtracker demanding propietary features for free*

"I can't believe the devs haven't implemented this yet!"

*doesn't donate a cent*

Use GIMP or LibreOffice Draw

You can now edit PDFs on Firefox

Fuck PDF's, all my homies hate PDF's

Avast, yee scallywags!

Who really pay for Adobe pdf suite ?

Really I can find many open source solution that can edit PDF, even OCR the PDF for free (you might need to run OCR engine with your CPU, or pay for OCR service)

I legitimately do not know why my work pays for adobe acrobat for all employees. Apple Preview is good enough for all the engineers with macbooks

People still use Adobe?

How come adobe managed to pull off some weird "monopoly" with that file format? 🙃

Firefox

Libreoffice Draw

Gnome Document Viewer

Only thing more pirated than Windows products are Adobe products. Smallest violin, etc etc

FYI, every version of macOS for over two decades has PDF creating/editing/signing built into the Preview app for free.

If you don't use Macs, you should at least be friends with someone who does.

PDFs are kind of nice. but ideally we, as a society, took a wrong turn somewhere when we opted for complex proprietary bloated filetypes that nobody can understand or use.
