What the fuck
I'm just making a "union rules" joke. I use gimp, inkscape, and a bunch of other stuff. I despise adobe.
Is there an open source alternative to acrobat? That’s all I fucking need.
Just the reader? Evince, Okular, Sumatra, PDF.js (basically, open PDF on Firefox with the
file://<path>).Or the editor? Eh, don't even try to edit PDF - they weren't meant for that, to begin with. But if you're still persistent, then you can either use Xournal++, or convert PDF to SVG with Inkscape.
Screaming this from the rooftops
The PDF is fundamentally a weird skeumorphic anachronism which should not exist
PDFs are great for certain legal documents and files that never need to be changed. It's the digital equivalent of laminated or glossy paper.
Stop doing PDF
Documents were not meant to be in the computer
Years of PDF yet no real world use found for digital paper
Wanted to make a document in the computer anyway for a laugh? We have a tool for that it's called an ODT
"Yes, please give me a signature with your mouse, please give me a document I can't edit" Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
This, I hate PDF forms so so much.
Yes, absolutely. I use Okular when I need to fuck with pdfs. It's quite decent in my experience. Great pdf reader and allows you to annotate, sign, fill forms, everything I've ever had to do with a pdf, really.
Libreoffice has pretty good PDF capabilities
