This is off topic but the term PDF just makes me cringe. I just got done uninstalling the entire Adobe Creative Cloud suite this past weekend and couldn’t have felt more relieved…Adobe Acrobat accounted for 2.4GB of space and the entire Chromium based CC took up close to 45GB. SMH! You can do better Adobe! I vividly remember installing Photoshop 5.0 back in 1998 with an approx 90MB installer and now it clocks in at 1.26GB.


With 1tb SSDs being very common, using 4.5% of your disk space for something “important” like CC is fine. Acrobat would account for 0.24%.

Things have changed since 1998, and as hardware has grown so have the requirements for the software that utilizes it.

I wonder if the relative percentages have changed much since 1998.
