Why free Adobe Acrobat alternative?

Adobe Acrobat Pro costs nearly $240/year, but most people use only a fraction of its features. If your typical PDF tasks are compressing, merging, splitting, and converting — you're paying $240/year for functionality that AskPDF provides free. The money you save can go toward tools you actually need. Only keep Acrobat if you genuinely use its advanced editing, form creation, and enterprise features on a regular basis.
