Adobe putting spam in notification tray on Windows

Adobe is a cancer the second it is installed. Avoid this shitty company if possible, there's loads of fantastic and better alternatives to their products these days.

I have to have adobe installed on my work computer and fuck it’s intrusive everythingness. Fuck em.

Time to take away the notification permission of reader.

Not an issue when you don't use Adobe.

The pop-ups on my desktop are the driving force behind me finally looking into Linux.

There's a reason I have my windows configured for do not disturb/focus mode, I can't say I've seen a notification come through that was actually relevant for me. The vast majority of what I've seen come through notifications are app spam, and I ain't got time for that

I don't touch Adobe software. Not only due to the abusive subscription, but even the pirated versions will install Creative Cloud and a thousand supporting applications that permanently modify your Windows shell, explorer, scheduled tasks and many more system features.

get sumatrapdf.

havent been on windows in a while, but im assuming its still the great lightweight viewer it used to be.

My daughter needs Windows on her notebook for school. The OneDrive popups that you can never turn off, only silence for a month, on Windows 10 are enough to piss me off on her behalf.

Firefox can open and edit PDFs, just uninstall the Adobe junk.

This company is insufferable.

I can hardly remember the last time any notification was not some kind of spam or self-notification.

I turn 99.95% of notifications off on any platform. The worst offenders are the apps that will show me a permanent in-app notification that I have turned off notification permissions… especially those that do so blocking the regular UI of the app to tell me this. Even some apps I’ve paid for do this. I condemn those to the deepest pits of app-hell.

Adobe … spam … Windows

That sounds about right.

Uninstall and use a different PDF reader. I’m partial to sumatra PDF.

Sumatra PDF for the win(dows).

use linux on daily basis, far better for your mental health. you can use virtual machine to work with these shitty softwares, or you can always dual-boot. make the switch!

Just throwing out there that PDF X-Change Editor and WondersShare PDFelement are both exceptional PDF editors. PDF X-Change Editor also has Windows ARM64 builds so you can run them on ARM based PCs. Although the best thing is to try and escape from Windows entirely anymore. Edit: Also, I second other recommends for Sumatra PDF for viewing. It has always been a favorite.
