In the end, I kept my old computer for the sole purpose of editing PDF documents hardly an ideal situation. Even worse, the old version was no longer supported. To get a new version was as expensive as buying a new license. But when I changed computers a few years later, the version of Nitro PDF I’d bought would no longer work on the new one. I ended up buying a PDF editor called Nitro PDF. I don’t like subscription-based software in general, and it’s not like I needed to make changes at such a rate as to make a monthly subscription worthwhile.
