    In the case of my users, it’s more like:

    “I need licensed Acrobat Pro bc Reader tells me I need Pro to send PDFs.”

    They don’t realize they can send the PDF any other way just fine - email attachment, Google Drive, hell even AirDrop. They just try to share the PDF from within the Reader app, get that message, and give up. Mildly annoying at worst.

    Just like Microsoft office users, stop buying office and just download LibreOffice.

      And it’s good to know that Thunderbird will never force you to open email links inside of a specific browser.

      It will do what every other operating system and program in the entire universe does and open a link in your default browser the way Outlook doesn’t anymore without a special setting in the config panel.

      I haven’t used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint’s auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.

      I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn’t there.

        I find it does the job, however I barely use office programs to begin with.

    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
