People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

I've yet to find one. Pdf24 is free but not Foss and decent for certain tasks, but it's not a great editor. After using the paid version of xchange for as long as I have, using free options just leaves me disappointed.

What's kind of weird is that there seems to be no other program coming close to Xchange's range. I've tried a bunch of them and they're basically toys compared to it. There evidently is some demand, but just one company meeting it fully? Is editing PDFs particularly technically difficult?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago

And the one company won't release a Linux version either. Sure, Wine exists, but it's not nearly as good as native support.

No clue how complicated PDFs, with all of its different versions are. Especially if some software make PDFs that don't even comply with official spec (not sure how often happens though).

Try to open a text PDF with LibreOffice and you might see why is so difficult to work with them. You can find that all the text is spread in one field for each line, not a unique text box.

PDF Xchange Editor is cool. Thanks to it I haven't had a need for Adobe software on my PC in years.
