Is it just only me that is wondering why Microsoft does not provide a productivity tool to rival Adobe virtual monopoly on PDF viewing and editing?

Just include this PDF software in the 365 subscription and see how many are still subscribing to the bane of Adobe PDF software suites.

Adobe threatened Microsoft with an antitrust lawsuit when Microsoft wanted to add PDF export functionality to Office 2007.

I can't imagine how Adobe would react if they built a whole PDF solution!

Thanks for the info.

Nothing happened when Microsoft added the PDF export functionality to Office, it's an empty threat after all.

Last year apparently OnlyOffice 8.1 has added PDF native editing in their software suites.

they complete somewhat in some niche cases. eg edge can handle encrypted and even classified pdf workloads

but run of the mill editing stuff? dream on lol
