​I personally know people who came into the industry, got their Adobe subscription, left​ the industry, and were stuck holding the bill​ without realizing it. Since even before the 2000s, I never ​s​tayed away from Adobe Acrobat, they were known to have the biggest security leaks and major RAM hogs (on my ​16mb of RAM in Win95). ​T​hings are obviously better now, but I have been using GIMP for image manipulation and I purchased in the one-tim​e FoxIt​PDF license (2 times, once for v10, ​recently one for v13), and I use SignNow for my eSign platform​, paid yearly. (DocuSign is way overpriced IMHO.)
