The PDF Pandemonium: How Google’s latest move is destroying our ability to create and edit documents
Remember the good old days when creating a PDF was as simple as snapping a photo with your phone? Those days are gone, thanks to Google’s latest decision to sunset its popular scanning app, Stack. The tech giant has abandoned its users, leaving them to struggle with the cumbersome and outdated Google Drive app.
But don’t worry, Google has a "solution" for you. You can now create and edit PDFs using Drive, but don’t expect it to be a seamless experience. The process is clunky, slow, and lacks the intuitive features that made Stack so beloved. And if you want to perform even the most basic tasks, such as removing a page or adding text, you’ll be forced to shell out cash for Adobe Acrobat or another for-pay app.
It’s clear that Google is more interested in promoting its own products and services than providing a useful tool for its users. By abandoning Stack, the company is leaving a void that will be difficult to fill. And with Drive’s limited capabilities, users are left with a PDF-making experience that’s more frustrating than convenient.
So, if you’re tired of being held hostage by Google’s outdated and restrictive PDF-making tools, it’s time to take a stand. Demand better from the tech giants and explore alternative solutions that put the user first. The PDF revolution will not be televised, but it will be noticed.
