Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I loved the Affinity stuff. Had completely replaced Adobe with Affinity before they got bought up and killed off.

Is there an alternative to Adobe for PDFs? I know Microsoft prints to PDF, but I need to be able to combine pdfs or rotate documents when I've scanned them upside down.

Been using Sterling PDF for times when I need to edit a PDF https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/Installation/Windows%20Installation

For just viewing or similar edits like rotating I use Okular, it works fine https://okular.kde.org/download/

I use "PDF Studio" (https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/) and it's great, no problems at all.

Sadly I have to keep one Windows machine with Acrobat installed because the tax authorities here use hideous Cthulhu-like many-tentacled "Dynamic Forms" documents that automatically transform into XML (ugh) and only work in Adobe/Windows. But other than tax returns, I only use PDF Studio.

I like Okular but I don't do nearly as much PDF based tasks as some.

If you are a LaTeX user, you can actually do this with LaTeX pdfpackages.

You could use ilovepdf ? It's available as a web app for free without an account
