I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until Adobe, and therefore my job, required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

What are people using to edit/sign PDFs. Adobe is a nightmare and I’d rather use anything else
I don't get why PDFs are so hard to open. The format has been around for ever. Why does Adobe have such a grasp on it, and why isn't it as common to open as a txt?
There are free programs that'll open it, but it's few and far between. It's a pain in the ass to find one.
Edit.
I looked it up. Adobe created PDF, but:
@WarmSoda @Wojtek Foxit pdf reader's not bad.
Does it still look like it comes from 2005?
