Everything is tied into the "Adobe ID" function.It's as if someone at Adobe went to a horrid car dealership where they try everything they can to get a few extra dollars out of you and thought "this is how we should run our business." Suggests Unusable Tools - worst of all, the program suggests a conversion function at first file open that doesn't even work, instead just opening a buy page.Tied into a web service - many of the functions (no telling which is which) don't work unless you sign up for their service and buy it.

Adware - launches browser to show ads for "you might like" advertisements.Bundleware - offers installation, in my case McAfee AntiVirus.I've been using Acrobat 9 for a very long time now but got a little worried about possible security issues so I went ahead and pulled their 2015.007 release. Things not to do if you're going to sell a freemium product Still, I hope this draws more people to test out the excellent freeware PDF viewer programs we have on the site. Preface: I'm unfortunately married to a variety of Adobe products due to circumstance so this is to some extent venting.
