Yeah yeah, no private citizen in their right mind still pays for Adobe products, or even uses them anymore when any alternatives at all are available.

B-b-b-b-bBUT!...Companies still do. And everyone has probably had to suffer through using Acrobat, the worst PDF editor possible, at work.

Today we hit a doozy. Someone kept getting an error message "The document cannot be printed". How fucking specific!

It was some clueless house frau secretary who still trusted Adobe. The rest of us told her to just open and print it in a browser, and it worked. Fucking management though insisted that everything be done through Acrobat, so ordered us to get to the bottom of it.

The culprit? She wasn't logged into her Creative Cloud account.

You have to be logged in to Adobe's fucking U-Play Games For Windows Live HORSESHIT in order to print PDFs (or files from any program in their suite?).

Let that retardation sink in. Then pile onto it the most unhelpful error message ever. How FUCKING hard would it have been to tell the user, "You need to be logged in to our pointless DRM in order to print anything. Fuck you!" ?


It's as simple as you say — pay for Adobe products, be logged in if you want to use them. No carveout for PDFs. Dumb but blunt.


The PDF thing is what makes it truly Google levels of fuck up. More than any other Adobe product, PDF reading has by far the most viable alternatives, every single one of which is superior to Acrobat, for free, to the point that nobody uses it unless bound by company policy. WHY INSIST ON BEING CUNTS in the face of that fact?
