My top company that I will never give another dollar to is Adobe, as they forced me into a 1 year "contract" with a $200 cancellation fee after forgetting to cancel their one month discounted trial in time.
Other companies for myself include Dell, HP, and Canadian Tire.
Obligatory "fuck Adobe". My proudest moment last year was cutting our company's Acrobat licenses by 70% and taking about a million bucks out of their greedy little pockets.
Nitro Pro is great anyway. It does the job.
What are some good alternatives to each Adobe product?
Someone on here mentioned Affinity for the Photoshop/design world
Nitro & PDFxchange for the PDF side?
Nitro is shaping up to be a good alternative for enterprise needs. Not sure about the rest. They seem to have a strangle hold on the creative suite in the enterprise.
Also Inkscape for Illustrator
I switched to PDFgear for my PDF editing needs, free and open source.
Does a decent job, although I miss being able to have PDF opened in tabs instead of individual windows.
Am I crazy? I cannot find that open source for PDFgear. Yes it's free, but they need to have some income if they can offer an AI integration. What's the catch?
I love you. Best I could do was cancel my $20 / month. I'll match you in about 4000 years.
It's not about matching, it's about preventing Adobe from getting money. :P
I would chargeback that shit so fast.
sadly, the bank would probably side with adobe, as the contract is quite clear
If you complain enough, adobe will let you cancel for free. But they are also on my blacklist, for making me work to cancel a service for free. Absolutely ridiculous.
I will pirate Adobe's products without any lapse in judgement on my part, I assure you
the adobe cancellation fee is the most evil and greedy shit i’ve ever witnessed in software. they SCALE it so you pay the exact amount you would have paid if you just remained subscribed for the full year, except when you pay that money through a cancellation you immediately lose your license to run their software. they literally make you pay the remaining subscription period while taking away your access to the fucking product
