    Adobe is worse than scammers. Scammers at least have the self realization that they are scamming. Adobe will steal your money and huff on the fumes that they are providing a valuable service by letting people open PDFs.

    I recently downloaded their PDF reader (because it’s the only app which allows for digitally signing a document with a visible cryptographic signature) and it’s 400 MB in size. In no world should a PDF reader be that large.

      Firefox can open PDFs and I’m not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.

        There are hundreds of Windows and Linux apps which can open PDF, but so far only Adobe’s version is the only one which can attach a digital signature. I normally use Zathura on Linux which is like a 5 MB maybe. It’s tiny, very configurable and JUST a pdf reader.
