This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

Nobody needs Adobe's PDF Reader or Creative Tools anymore.

There are alternatives all over the web.

Update: I meant for personal use. I know that workplaces force us to use the same tools (and same versions of said tools) that they use.

... Unless mandated by IT.

Right, or unless you work in an industry where photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, or after effects are the standard. There’s plenty of great software out there, but good luck opening a complex photoshop document in anything but photoshop, or a complex premiere pro project in anything but premiere. It sucks to be chained to their products, but it’s naive to say “nobody needs them, just switch”

There's also a compatibility issue between different people. If you don't use Premiere, but everyone else does, sharing work is going to be a problem.

Sure, I don’t use it on my personal devices but I can’t install the better tools on my work computer.
