I'm giving an old laptop to a friend and putting windows on it, and here's what happened:

1. The Acrobat installer spent 5 minutes downloading the install files on my fast af Internet. File size appears to >1gb

2. Installation took about 40 goddamn minutes and this isn't a slow computer. Furthermore I was never prompted to accept or decline anything. Two clicks --> installer does it's thing.

3. The goddamn thing installed not one but TWO startup apps that you cannot uninstall. One is called Adobe Express and I think it wanted to see pics.

4. Fortunately you can disable autostart in Task Manager, but how many people know how to do that? <1% of users know I'm even saying. They're just stuck with these TWO startup apps jacking their photos

Most people have no use for Acrobat and are served perfectly well by the default pdf viewer in their browser. Its continued presence everywhere is mostly inertia and Boomer retardation. In fact that explains a lot of things that are still around but shouldn’t be.

You can't sign PDFs with Okular, or open any file with any kind of security

so is the paid version. the "AI Agent" popup covers half the screen randomly and comes back after you close or disable it.

Not if you get a "professional" subscription. I did that and it eliminated 3/4 of the bullshit
