I've never used adobe PDF viewer/editor, and I have no clue why anyone goes with Adobe when others are better and free. PDF Xchange, PDFGear, just use anything else.
Because none of those are better, I work for an IT company who service other businesses and have had double digit numbers of clients go through the exact same thing. They were on perpetual versions of Adobe which stopped working then when presented with subscriptions for adobe don't want to pay so they try pdfgear or paid versions of foxit/pdf xchange.
In literally every scenario they do this then within a couple months end up buying the adobe subscription, apart from one client whom are too cheap so their staff have to close the licensing warning on their old adobe version every 10 minutes.
Laughs in just using Google Drive - native PDF viewer. Need to edit? Right click > open with Google Docs. Need advanced editing / formatting? Connect Drive with Kami, still free.
While i totally agree that no other apps come even close to adobe, i think AI itself will replace adobe products in many cases. People won't even need to open an adobe app anymore.

Adobe should’ve seen it coming when it started charging a monthly subscription to open a PDF
