That was very helpful. The distinction is now very clear. Is there an Open Source PDF Editor, like Adobe Pro?

Some additional information for you to consider. Yes, some are simply profiting without contributing. However some people have limited / no online access. Sellers that provide physical media, DVD/USB, are providing a worthwhile service for them. The other point, OpenOffice is "open source software". Not "freeware". There are distinctions. Most often, freeware comes with other unwanted or unneeded software that continually requests the user to upgrade to paid version or to buy some additional product. A nag that is not helpful and, if the nag is followed, can lead to undesirable problems on the pc. When you search for software I suggest including the phrase "open source", with the quotes, in your search. You will find many useful programs provided in the same manner as OpenOffice. e.g. Audacity - sound file editing GIMP, Krita - image editing and creation OpenShot - video editing Thunderbird - email Calibre - ebook library and management Gramps - geanalogical research software etc. On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 2:40 AM sasha blaskovich <sjbla...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Thank you very much!
