Acrobat Predatory Practices

I'm growing more and more inclinded to agree. Not just for Acrobat, but for any piece of Adobe Software.
I would very much prefer a one-off purchase of a specific version of the software, that I could then use and (more importantly) OWN myself, and use without the risk of Adobe later modifying it's terms and condtions to claim rights to creative designs made in their software, or invalidate a "Perpetual License."
I am also very much tired of Creative Cloud operating in PC's background, eating up my CPU and Memory until I force it to shut down. I don't NEED this endless network connectivity.

I want to buy the and use the SOFTWARE ITSELF. Not some license Adobe will burn to milk me for a little more money.

There is a lot of misinformation here...

>>>...no one wants to purchase some useless subscription!

That is subjective. I like subscriptions so my software is up-to-date without constant upgrade fees. 

>>>We want to pay you a fair price for some software that is usable for several years.

You can purchase a perpetual license. The cost is comparable to about 30 months of subscriptions, so if you keep the same version for 3 years, you are saving money. If you end up upgrading to get a new feature OR the OS requires it, then you lose money. It's a choice. 

>>>The most alarming practice that I am aware of is when using acrobat and having to sign or fill out a form. Then you realize something is misspelled or you need to change something and the software won't allow you to do so unless you have the subscription.

This statement doesn't make sense and isn't true to the extent of signing and filling out form fields. If you sign something then catch a mistake, you have to unsign it or simply go back to the unsigned copy. 

>>>And I can't wait for better software to come. 

There are other options out there--do some research. 

You can buy Adobe Acrobat when you don't want a subscription.
