My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i open

Moonrise2473@feddit.it to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 498 points –

If someone knows how to disable this fuckery, please tell me or i have to install adobe acrobat, it makes me crazy as it floats on all the open PDFs, covering text/content

Okular.

No ADS, FOSS, and Free (As in beer and speech!)

This. Also, If you need to manipulate PDFs, then try:

  • LibreOffice
  • Inkscape
  • StirlingPDF

Nice that Stirling PDF!

Tomorrow I'll try to configure it in a docker container

Free (As in beer and speech!)

Do you live in a utopia where you get as much beer as you want without having to pay for it, or do you live in a dystopia where you have to pay to be able to speak your mind and only in limited quantities?

I live in mixed world where companies are making proprietary software and paywalling everything. Yet, there's independent open source programs where I can get a copy, share, and expand as I want without worring about legal issues.

Free as in beer means I got a beer for free (gratis, "No Price"), whereas speech is I can say what I want (without being silenced).*

In this context, Okular is a free (As in price) and free (As in libre software). I can copy, share, modify, and share modification as I please. There is no subscription, paywall, or proprietary licsense that prohibits this.
