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.

I don't know how Adobe could fall that deep. Their sales probably still don't reflect that because they have a lot of momentum but I hear our designers really getting angry.
