I started freelancing on the side recently, needed a PDF editor, Acrobat was cheaper than Bluebeam, so I thought I’d give it a try after not using it for years. It sucked. On top of being inferior in every use case it was infuriating to even have installed. It said it was opting me in for usage data collection but I could opt out in account management, I never found that option. And it had a dozen and a half background processes running on startup that would restart after being killed in task manager. Had to make a little batch file to kill them all at once. Adobe, the software and the company, is cancer. On purpose. Being mean to Adobe online is absolutely justified.
Yeah, I have Libreoffice, I like the word processor and spreadsheet program, but wasn’t quite as happy with its handing of PDFs. That could definitely be user error/ignorance though.

Libreoffice can edit pdf’s. You may have to fidget a bit with it before you get it running well tho

I really liked it’s pdf features. But then again, I find acrobat to be unbearable and that was the only real competitor I knew
