Reader would work for like 90% of people, but no, everyone needs Standard or Pro because reasons.
Just like Microsoft office users, stop buying office and just download LibreOffice.
I haven’t used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint’s auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.
I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn’t there.
I find it does the job, however I barely use office programs to begin with.
In the case of my users, it’s more like:
“I need licensed Acrobat Pro bc Reader tells me I need Pro to send PDFs.”
They don’t realize they can send the PDF any other way just fine - email attachment, Google Drive, hell even AirDrop. They just try to share the PDF from within the Reader app, get that message, and give up. Mildly annoying at worst.
