So tired of Adobe. They're part of the problem.

I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.
Fuck Adobe, not supporting Linux, and now not even supporting Firefox, the once most used browser? Whoever pirates their crappy software deserves a statue.
since flash died I'm happy that I don't even know what adobe does anymore.
Something with trying to claim they own PDFs and Photoshop I guess
The pdf standard is open, though criminally bloated. Their pdf software ('pro' as well as the freemium 'reader' which looks like adware nowadays) is used only because it's the most lenient with respect to files barely complying with the 'standard' -- which includes things like application forms from government agencies.
... that is, if they can be said to 'own' the pdf format, it's only because they smeared it all over with their shit. A bit like how hippos mark their territory, I guess.
Is there a FOSS/free PDF program that will let me fill in and digitally sign/encrypt a pdf?
Yup, I know Okular (KDE's PDF tool) at least works. I don't know if it works on Windows or macOS, but I'm sure there are other tools that do.
Thanks! I'll look it up and try it out. Getting real tired of having to use shady web apps to get around something I have to do regularly as part of my job but for some unfathomable reason isn't a default app on every computer where I work.
Normalize using pirated proprietary software for professional work😉
I'd like my statue doing one of Luigi's taunt poses, please
I wonder what their excuse will be once Linux surpasses MacOS in market share.
