Adobe's greed has made them a liability to professional workflows
Acrobat crashed on me today while I was signing a client PDF. It refuses to operate. I pulled the crash log. It's choking on an AI model file that won't load on my system.
I don't use the AI features.
So a PDF reader wouldn't open a PDF because a chatbot component broke.
I went to Creative Cloud after that and it says it needs a newer macOS. Which means Audition, my main DAW for work, is next.
If Adobe is going to permanently crash one day because they pull support from an older OS, what's to stop their other services from suddenly becoming defunct because of their need to push 'new tech' to satisfy their Wall Street investors instead of actually helping professionals?
If my editor won't open the morning of a session because Adobe pushed something or decided my machine doesn't qualify, I lose the job.
After decades of being with Adobe, I'm finally unsubscribing.
They are actively sabotaging us to serve a boardroom of money men and it's hugely disappointing
