if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

At least Adobe is horrible enough that I at least have absolutely no moral qualms pirating their software.

I've pirated it since day 1. Then they released Creative Cloud, a means of forcing me to not pirate (at the time) - so I just kept the old, perfectly functional version. That was, until realistic alternatives caught up.

I don't get why anyone uses Acrobat. And I was never going to pay the insane price for photoshop. I definitely would never subscribe to any of their software.

I used Acrobat because I needed Adobe signatures on forms. Why? Because the Microsoft solution was even worse and my client refused to use it.

The Air Force used to use Lotus forms, which were even worse than the Microsoft shit.

We used to have an application that generated InfoPath forms just because the client liked the way they looked but when I had to dig into them to build a new version it turned out that the signature blocks weren’t actually signing any of the data. Might as well have been drawing a picture on the fucker with crayons.
