also recommend this. it’ll handle the in-design and pdf stuff handily. I cancelled my CC subscription in May, got an offer for two free months, then still cancelled it last week lol. Affinity is running a sale on their suite too, $80ish for all three programs - equivalent to illustrator, photoshop and in-design.
Adobe keeps shooting itself in the face. They had CC figured out about 3 years ago, all they needed to do was keep adding capabilities and keep the cost under $50ish/mo.
Then they started acquiring other companies but making those charges ON TOP of creative cloud, while increasing CC’s monthly cost.
Substance was a great suite, but it’s not worth $1200 a year on top of CC. Bye adobe!
