Ahhh.
That sucks.
I need chocolate. I don't even care if it has a French accent like that goofy depp flick.
Was totally gonna make that into a song on vocaroo, but can't split screen on mobile to see these lyrics.

That’d be too easy and we can’t have that.
I update my InDesign in place any time there's an update. Not sure what you're referring to, unless it's a different program in their suite.

Affinity is pretty terrific. I got the whole suite at half price about a year-ish ago and love it. I had limited experience with a photo program or a graphics manipulation program, so I didn't have to UN-learn very much to use Photo or Designer. But their Publisher has been harder to get comfortable with because my years/decades of InDesign experience are getting in the way of me finding/adapting.

So I'm still subscribing to ID for now... I gotta just force myself to LEARN the Affinity version better so I can cut the cord.

I'm just an independent contractor who does typical things with PDF creators: scribbling on 'em, text boxes, highlighting, creating PDFs out of thin air. Nothing else. My old Acrobat Pro 9.0 was starting to show its age.
