Ach, Okular (~Acrobat) gibt es ja auch für Windows. okular.kde.org

Benutze ich unter Linux standardmäßig. Einzig das Signieren eines Arbeitergeberdokuments hatte letztes Mal nicht so gut geklappt, da das eingefügte Bild völlig off war. Inzwischen geht auch das, auch wenn nicht perfekt (aber war es evtl. bei Acrobat auch nicht?).

Ach: "Okular is the very first software product to receive the Blue Angel ecolabel for being resource and energy efficient"

A.A.A #AdobeAcrobat alternatives.

Hi Fedi friends! In the procrss of freeing myself from Adobe monopoly, I’m looking for alternatives to the softwares I use the most. The main gap I’m encountering is with #Acrobat.

I’ve tried #PDFgear and #PDFexpert but none of them have the option to create and edit forms - they only offer the option to fill them. A nice to have would also be the possibility to set a specific initial view.

Are you aware of any software doing so, out there?

If you're using #Adobe #Acrobat you might want to check if your organization allows use of the by default enabled generative AI features: Acrobat sends the documents to cloud for processing, which likely goes against the data #privacypolicy of many orgs.

If unsure, go to Preferences > Generative AI and deselect "Enable generative AI features in Acrobat".

Continued thread

Right now the only way I've figured out how to turn off reflow in #acrobat is to delete/rename the entire Acrobat DC subtree in Regedit - which among other things means reverting to "New Acrobat", which is supposed to make our work go faster by...eliminating access to 70% of features?!
I have to use this product for at least another 4 years & they'll probably turn off the ability to "disable New Acrobat" in that time frame, but hopefully by then someone will have been shamed into fixing it.
