Martin Ferenec Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think the next big step for Affinity should be a PDF editor/viewer that has all or more features than Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Since Adobe has a monthly subscription for all features unlocked Affinity would probably become the largest competitor for professional .pdf viewer/editor software since it could also link Publisher, Designer and Photo directly to it [MOD EDIT, Removed] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulEC Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 FWIW - There are a number of alternatives (cheaper or free) to Adobe Acrobat Pro, which has a lot of features that most people will never need. Although I use it at work, for personal use I manage quite well with free PDF editing software. Having said that, I do think that it would be good if Serif did decide to bring out a full blown PDF editing app (not a clone of Acrobat!) to work alongside and integrate with their other apps.

yruare Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yes an affintiy PDF would certainly be cool. I am still looking for a simple way to rotate single pages in a PDF document. I work with Foxit and am very satisfied. But the free version of Foxit cannot do that. Does anyone know a free alternative where this can be done? In the Publisher it somehow works too?

I completely agree with you... stealing is not fine... just as unfair pricing for non-professional end users that do not make any money using the software is not. If the price is reasonable I have no problems buying and supporting it. That's why I switched to Affinity. Paying 438,96 € a year for PDF editing/viewing tool is just out of the picture for me and probably for most people that do not make money with it. That's where Affinity could come in and probably take a huge part of Adobe Acrobat market share. But I do agree with you... as I said stealing is not fine and knowing that I'm a future to-be software developer it would definitely hurt the business, that's why I like to buy all the software that I regularly use/plan to use. Here is my recent Affinity order for example: 2 hours ago, Dan C said: Hi @Martin Ferenec, We appreciate your feedback here regarding Affinity, many thanks for this!
