Have you tried Firefox or one of its offshoots like Librefox? They are surprisingly good at viewing and editing PDFs.
Just drag the PDF into an empty tab. But I’m sure there are other ways to open them.
Edit: it’s comparably priced to acrobat but is significantly better on all fronts (opens and runs faster and more reliably, markup tools are leagues above, pdf editing tools are more comprehensive, review tools are significantly more advanced, everything is more user friendly. It’s wild how much better revu is when it’s literally the same price point.
It absolutely is another subscription service, but is equivalently priced to acrobat. While I’m all for pay to own, if you are already paying a subscription to acrobat and need the features of that application, revu is a no brainer change.
That said, I’m pretty keen to hear about alternatives, I’ve never heard of Stirling or pdf gear so I’ll check em out. Thanks!
Wonderful! Now I need an Acrobat alternative that my work will accept, and I can kick adobe to the slims from which it came.

That depends on what you do with PDF, for simple viewing I switched to web browsers
Bluebeam revu?

Our engineering department uses bb revu. I’ll look into it as a replacement for Acrobat. Thanks!
My last firm used revu and switching back to acrobat at the new one has been crippling. Acrobat is an abomination.
Looks like another subscription service.
I’ve been using Stirling. It’s a little quirky sometimes but works fairly well. I’ve heard pdf gear is decent too
