I have been making PDFs for at least 20 years now, probably more. AFAIK I have _never_ used Acrobat to create them. I print from LibreOffice to its PDF generator, or I use any random Mac OS X app as under that OS all apps can output PDF -- PDF is the native rendering format of Mac OS X. I do not normally use Windows but I believe that most modern Win10 apps can save as PDF. I mostly use Linux and there is no Acrobat for Linux. The reader app was discontinued years ago and no longer works on most modern distros. With considerable effort I have managed to start it inside a Docker container but it's complex and difficult; normally I just use Xviewer or Okular. You ask as if Acrobat were the normal or default way to make PDF files. I don't think that's been true for decades now. P.S. Please bottom-post on mailing lists. Thunderbird, for instance, runs on all major OSes and talks to Hotmail/Outlook.com just fine. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: [email protected] – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: [email protected] Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
