Memes about IT and computer related things, funny screenshots, or things you see out in the wild.
Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.
Conversely, IT is arguing about a $90 license on an employee that costs 80k. If it saves them 2 hours of productivity over the course of the year, it's an even trade, wouldn't you say?
$90? Where can I get Adobe Acrobat for $90? Standard is 14.99 per month! I'd buy that shit all day if it was a one time fee of $90.
Pisses me off no end when companies cheap out on IT equipment. I work in a place where a large number of us will be on £35 - £55k, yet the IT budget for each of us is less than 1% of our salary over 3 years.
It's crazy. Don't employ professionals then give them low end enthusiast gear.
Yeah but those $90 savings make IT management look good, and that 80k/year doesn't come out of IT's budget. Also the productivity loss can't objectively be measured or will just be blamed on the employee.
Yeah, this penny pinching on licenses is pretty absurd. I promise you that it hardly affects the bottom line.
No shit man. I just pay for my own. Ain't worth arguing with IT. Saved me a shit ton of time reliably converting and editing PDFs.
I blame accounting. Although I also think that Acrobat's price is BS.
I worked for a small multinational (20.000ish employees).
The licensing department saved about 3 mio USD/year when they started going at license pinching.
You can view and edit in Firefox, use that and I bet the number of people who don’t need acrobat would jump to 99%
It makes me sad but Adobe is the only game in town for powerful PDF editing. It's a shame no open source project seems to be there.
The basic pdf editing options you can find in most browsers (including edge) is more than enough for most people
If you have a mac.. well, preview is bloody amazing
Preview > Acrobat Reader. It's not even a contest.
Imo its not that hard to beat acrobat reader, i hate it!
