    Obligatory “fuck Adobe”. My proudest moment last year was cutting our company’s Acrobat licenses by 70% and taking about a million bucks out of their greedy little pockets.

    Nitro Pro is great anyway. It does the job.

      What are some good alternatives to each Adobe product?

      Someone on here mentioned Affinity for the Photoshop/design world

      Nitro & PDFxchange for the PDF side?

        Nitro is shaping up to be a good alternative for enterprise needs. Not sure about the rest. They seem to have a strangle hold on the creative suite in the enterprise.

        I switched to PDFgear for my PDF editing needs, free and open source.

        Does a decent job, although I miss being able to have PDF opened in tabs instead of individual windows.

          Am I crazy? I cannot find that open source for PDFgear. Yes it’s free, but they need to have some income if they can offer an AI integration. What’s the catch?
