            Well that’s you’re problem right now isn’t it? Even though I personally don’t use Linux (I’m too lazy to move plus a few games I play dont work under Linux) I would love to see there be more native apps, till that day ya gotta be able to compromise. If ya don’t want to, well read the top line again

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Adobe has revealed it may have to fork out “significant monetary costs or penalties” as a result of a US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation of its subscription cancellation practices.

    President of digital media David Wadhwani celebrated record numbers of new commercial subscriptions for Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Adobe’s filing reveals that the regulator is considering its actions regarding “our disclosure and subscription cancellation practices relative to the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act.”

    That Act, as explained by law firm Hinch Newman LLP, means outfits that offer subscription services must never:

    Adobe’s filing reveals that in November 2023, FTC staff “asserted that they had the authority to enter into consent negotiations to determine if a settlement regarding their investigation of these issues could be reached.”

    But it’s warned investors that defending the matter – or paying fines if it can’t do so – could cost it enough to “have a material impact on our financial results and operations.”

    Adobe acrobat has 3 tiers Free which is useless Acrobat which has 90% of everything you’ll ever need except for that one time you’ll need to censor a portion of the document which is only available in

    Acrobat pro which is another 10$ a month on top of regular acrobat (20$ a month) and offers literally 2 extra features that previously were not separated.

    Or you can change the highlighter to black and use that instead.

    Fuck Adobe.

      If you distribute that PDF, users will be able to search, highlight, and copy “highlighted” text, no problem.

        Realize this but my companies solution was to just print that version and scan back in the resulting version which cannot be undone. Stupid and wastful but saved us from buying a ton of Adobe licenses.
