    Just like Microsoft office users, stop buying office and just download LibreOffice.

      I haven’t used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint’s auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.

      I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn’t there.

        I find it does the job, however I barely use office programs to begin with.

    In the case of my users, it’s more like:

    “I need licensed Acrobat Pro bc Reader tells me I need Pro to send PDFs.”

    They don’t realize they can send the PDF any other way just fine - email attachment, Google Drive, hell even AirDrop. They just try to share the PDF from within the Reader app, get that message, and give up. Mildly annoying at worst.
