   As soon as I saw this software suite about 2 days ago, I shorted Adobe Inc immediately.

   Adobe to $120 price target at least, could be even lower.

      Same for Microsoft and others. There is still a business in selling and supporting software, but not in creating it, and barriers to entry are now purely about sales and service.

         These companies are going to start tagging files not made by their software as not being "genuine" and freak out a bunch of IT people, who will then ban these apps.

            I mean pdf is made by Adobe so they can change their standard. If I were distributing software I’d want guarantees it only ingests trusted data, not only for software but for non-tech peoples trusts. No need for poisoned data further diving into the software/llms.

               PDF is an ISO standard. People are buying Acrobat to open, edit, and publish ISO-standard PDF files, NOT just "the shit Acrobat publishes".

               Now that being said, Adobe has plenty of non-standardized file formats that they absolutely could do AutoCAD-style shenanigans with.
