Firefox and Chrome both have PDF viewers built into them now, and that means Edge too... So there's no need even for Sumatra, Foxit, or really anything.

I'd still prefer to use Sumatra just because how lightweight it is compared to modern browsers, plus no fucking telemetry

The browsers suck ass with pdf forms though.

[-] thantik@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Did you last try a browser 10 years ago or something? They work fine.

Not the forms I use. Firefox does ok most of the time, but Edge and chrome just will not even display some of the elements. It's maddening.

Or refuse to sign a document... Or not send it when a send button is clicked... Or just not open them at all.

That's nice but if a coworker is sharing a PDF there's a good chance it calls for markup.

Fuck Subscriptions

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.

Expect use of strong language.

Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.

No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.

Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.

New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.
