Will the social media ban impact Adobe Spaces, my favourite place to hang out in my favourite PDF viewing and editing app?*

I boot up my Windows partition to be met with fucking Adobe Acrobat trying to sell me a paid plan. I need to dismiss that pop-up within Acrobat before I can close the whole thing and it looks like Adobe are pumping their content marketing into Acrobat itself.
Who is going to open a PDF then be like, "Okay, I guess I'll see what Hasan Minhaj has to say about fucking PDFs." I would need to be super bored at work to do that.
Fuck this shitty company and their bullshit bloated program. Sumatra all the way, the only reason I keep Acrobat around is to sign the occasional PDF
Pdfs can absolutely be edited, though
Any file format can be edited if you try hard enough. PDFs just don't make it convenient. You can definitely do some basic edits, like changing a string or moving an image around, but even that is not guaranteed to be easy
Depending on where it was made, it can be fully edited. If you save a pdf correctly from illustrator, for example. And even if you don't, sometimes you can still open it and edit, it's just going to be kind of hard, the text boxes usually break
