    Conversely, IT is arguing about a $90 license on an employee that costs 80k. If it saves them 2 hours of productivity over the course of the year, it’s an even trade, wouldn’t you say?

      Yeah but those $90 savings make IT management look good, and that 80k/year doesn’t come out of IT’s budget. Also the productivity loss can’t objectively be measured or will just be blamed on the employee.

      Pisses me off no end when companies cheap out on IT equipment. I work in a place where a large number of us will be on £35 - £55k, yet the IT budget for each of us is less than 1% of our salary over 3 years.

      It’s crazy. Don’t employ professionals then give them low end enthusiast gear.

      $90? Where can I get Adobe Acrobat for $90? Standard is 14.99 per month! I’d buy that shit all day if it was a one time fee of $90.

    You can view and edit in Firefox, use that and I bet the number of people who don’t need acrobat would jump to 99%

    It makes me sad but Adobe is the only game in town for powerful PDF editing. It’s a shame no open source project seems to be there.
