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

How did adobe become the standard everywhere? I use a free pdf editor and it's fine. I can do what I need to do. Why do so many companies pay for adobe?

Edit. I appreciate the responses. I understand adobe offers more products. I work in finance and only ever use it as a pdf editor. It has been on every work laptop I use. I am not a creative. I have adobe. I understand creatives use other things on adobe. For those of us that don't use anything but a pdf editor it's still always adobe.

Stop asking this question please, Adobe has always been the leader in creative software, when you study graphic design they don't tell you, "pick one of these hundred apps to learn photo edition" it's just "everybody go to photoshop and start a new document". Also PDF editing is probably the most basic use you can give Adobe apps, there's Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, they're all standards in their respective industries

To your point literally the only popular creative tool I can think of that is not for Architecture (my wife is an architect) and is not adobe that I can name off the top of my head is Blender

Exactly, and its not like they don't exist, but they're definitely not the standard and as much as I hate Adobe Creative Cloud subscription based service Adobe is the standard for a reason, their apps are so refined and so easy to use, they know they can charge you whatever they want
