I didn't mind paying for a subscription to use all the Acrobat features while I was running my own business. Now I am retired from the profession and don't work in an office environment, I rarely need to edit or convert PDFs but there are occasions, probably a few times a year, that I need to use these features that are not available with the Acrobat Reader. Using the free trial and canceling it before being charged is one way to do it, but I could end up forgetting to cancel. I'd be happy to pay per usage fee, like a few dollars perhaps, if I don't have to sign up for a subscription every time I need to use it.
