Maybe not a good look to go "AI! AI! AI!" when the actual creatives who use the product get attacked for using AI:

Wonderful! Now I need an Acrobat alternative that my work will accept, and I can kick adobe to the slims from which it came.

Bluebeam revu?

Edit: it's comparably priced to acrobat but is significantly better on all fronts (opens and runs faster and more reliably, markup tools are leagues above, pdf editing tools are more comprehensive, review tools are significantly more advanced, everything is more user friendly. It's wild how much better revu is when it's literally the same price point.

Our engineering department uses bb revu. I'll look into it as a replacement for Acrobat. Thanks!

Anyone who knows if I can migrate a huge old light room library. I closed my subscription about 3 years ago and my library has just been sitting there since. All my eddits should be saved in sidecar files but there is probably other stuff saved in the library that could be useful. I tried darktables back then, but I kinda dropped photography as a hobby so never looked much into it. I want to pick it up again some time soon tho
