We recently needed to fill out a PDF form . We had to include an an image on the form and digitally sign. The Adobe raeder would not allow her to attached an image or sign the document. We had to sign up for a trail account to just complete the form. Adobe is charing $240 / year for the Pro version of Acrobat. Another version is $150 / year. The subscription to get an entire office Suite for a fmily of five is $99 / year.

Can someone at Adobe please explain why this product costs so much for basic functionality to edit and sign PDFs?

Can a member of the community suggest an alternative product to accoplish editing and signing of PDFs?

I got sick of this too so I just built one. It does the basics. https://flipperfile.com/pdf-tools/editor/

Probably the PDF was incorrectly made by the original author with settings that block users from signing and adding images. Contact the original author and complain.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is the original software program developed for opening, reading, printing, and doing other PDF tasks and it's still the best by our testing of dozens of competing products. Just Google "PDF Readers" and you'll have a lot to choose from.

But I really believe that problem you had was because the author didn't set the PDF file correctly, not Reader or any other brand of PDF reading program.
