Adobe is of the best examples of how a great company can become such a horrible one. From pioneering creative software to squeezing every last dime out of its customers. Focus has gone from innovating to making money. What a shame. Adobe is among the companies I genuinely dislike the most. I do whatever I can to find alternatives.

If you’re seriously looking for how to cancel your Adobe subscription(s), here’s a link to Adobe’s help pages that tell you how. You may also have unique local support from Adobe Customer Service in your country/region which can help expedite your request.

Adobe doesn’t even let people contact support unless they have a paid plan.  That AI agent is on the the list of the most useless things I’ve ever wasted my time on.

Maybe nobody told them that their free stuff is garbage too,  and that they need to support those products too.

Why does Acrobat Updater launch itself several times per day when neither it nor Acrobat are permitted to even start when Windows starts?  I haven’t used Acrobat in about a month, either in-app or in browser.  If we can’t control your stupid app, and we can’t get ahold of your support then you shouldn’t be making software.  This is complete crap.

I used their free trial for 1 day and it’s literally been nothing but regrets since.  How exactly was this supposed to convince me to pay for Adobe products?  I’m thoroughly disgusted with their practices, and at this point I feel like Adobe just needs to disappear from my life completely.  I’ll be scrubbing EVERY trace of Adobe from my machine and using alternatives from this point forward.

If I can’t control / trust their app’s behavior and I can’t trust their support, then they’re done.  They got a chance, but their shit practices have squandered it and I won’t be an Adobe customer… ever.

Yea, Adobe is finished.

I've converted 3 businesses to move away from Adobe and onto Affinity (which is far superior, despite being 'new')
Currently I'm helping a large digital marketing agency to ditch Adobe - mainly to save the company on spending over $30k a month - when Affinity (which does exactly the same thing but even better and faster) is a fraction of that cost.

And if they need to edit video - Davinci Resolve is more than adequate (cheaper and more fun and reliable too!)


There is literally no good  or logical reason to stay with Adobe anymore - unless you're trying to sabotage your business or something.

@Michael26830795jv2m sometimes Adobe isn't for everyone. Although, Adobe Acrobat are known for their security for their PDFs, and unfortunately, many so-called PDF apps on Play and App Store are just malware, like many of us here prefer Adobe. 

I dunno you, but, I don't use the extension. And maybe that's the problem, you need to use the Adobe software from Adobe's website and not a third party website. If it isn't an official Adobe product or is pirated version, well, that could b the issue, not Adobe being a crappy product...

  1. Adobe’s practices are terrible. The company themselves is the problem.  They literally steal everyone’s artwork to use in their AI, they don’t offer support if you’re not paying for a paid plan (but their software still needs support either way), and they think that stuff we can get for free should cost thousands of dollars.
     
  2. If you’re downloading malware, maybe try reading the review and doing some research before you download stuff? App stores and play stores generally have these, and you can look for info elsewhere if they don’t.
     
  3. Adobe makes [cursing removed] products too.  I’ve got Acrobat and its updater blocked from starting, even when Windows starts but for whatever [cursing removed] reason I still have to close the updater several times per day.  No matter how hard I try, there’s always some Adobe process running, launching stuff, and stealing my information.  Since Adobe doesn’t allow people using the free version to contact support at all (which should be illegal), it’s basically a middle finger to me several times every [cursing removed] day.

    If we can’t control their product behavior and we can’t contact support, [cursing removed] are we supposed to do?  We’re left with one option, STOP USING [cursing removed].  I literally used their trial version for 1 day and it’s been headaches and [cursing removed] ever since.  I’ve LITERALLY only regretted using their product as a result.  How exactly is this supposed to convince me to pay for their products?

    I’m here right now because Adobe has refused to allow me to ask how to keep the updater from launching constantly, so you can thank them for this response too.
