[quote=ynwtf]I can't argue any of that. I still get frustrated if I think on it. Regarding the Acrobat updates, at this point the only features we use and need to stay current on at the constant updates to 508 compliance and tagging standards. But if it's just PDF export, then I can't blame you for finding a one-time purchase option.[/quote]

Adobe is expensive. Not a fan of renting InDesign every month. But I'm still reorienting myself to Affinity Publisher (a very good InDesign wannabe), so I can't give up on ID just yet.[/quote]

Yes, I agree the subscription crap was horrible for individuals and smaller businesses. Their pricing scheme assumes we update every 18 months minimum. We often went 2-4 years before upgrades in most of our apps. Now, we're bound to the subscription just for contract requirements that need the latest but as a single user it really is horrible. I do love the apps though =\[/quote]
Oh, I love InDesign and I'm dragging my feet trying to learn the differences in Affinity's suite so I can cut the Adobe cord. ID is just so ingrained in how I think about layout now.

But yeah, even if it IS tax deductible, for me it's just over $20 a month for InDesign alone![/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=ynwtf]really annoys me that coworkers always call Acrobat "Adobe." Like, "Hey, yn? Do you have [i]Adobe[/i] installed? I need a PDF." I YELL at them with, "YOU DON'T OPEN [i]MICROSOFT[/i] TO MAKE A PPT, DO YOU?!"[/quote]
Ha! I don't make those mistakes, since I've been using InDesign and *full* Acrobat for a long time. I did just give up on Acrobat for Foxit PDF, though. I'm a fan of one-time purchases where I can get them without losing features I need.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]I'm currently upgrading my inexpensive 13" eBay MacBook Pro (High Sierra) for a newer, better 13" eBay MacBook Pro (Big Sur). Needed the newer OS to run one lousy piece of software, but won't mind having twice the RAM and twice the storage space, I guess. 

Still not my main computer, though. :)[/quote]
