Yeah, Office got a lot better, but Adobe is still plain malware. Here is one way to work around it: - Create a new partition, install macOS and have each bootable partition have its own different FileVault password for encryption. - You can have a Adobe + other nononsencial software partition, and you can bail from typing your real partition encryption key, so your main data is secured from Adobe I am not a security expert, but I did this for a while and it works well. It is annoying, but I felt my privacy was not at risk while I was booted on the "dirty partition". Edit: I did it to use Premiere. PDF might be doable without that hassle as others pointed out.
