What software is your library staff using to create and edit PDF documents?
Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 will cease to function 12/1/2026. Adobe is pushing for a subscription model, instead of selling us a version we can install and just use for a few years. We purchased our Adobe 2020 Pro licenses from TechSoup. To
get discounted Acrobat Pro, you now must go through a company called Goodstack and buy individual licenses, a max of 10, that are each individually assigned to an end-user email address. These renew each year, you must pay for each license individually, and
as far as I can tell there is no way to transfer a license to another user when there is turnover. TechSoup now sells Foxit PDF Editor+ instead of Acrobat Pro, and it seems to also have some extra hurdles for licensing that are off-putting.
