Adobe Professional Substitute?

Hi,
I used to use Adobe Professional at my old job & grew to like it. I'm seeking something with similar capabilities for managing and formatting documents but free or at least much cheaper. Does anyone have recommendations?

Doesn't look like you ever received an answer! I'm assuming here that you're talking about the Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator. If so, there's Scribus (like InDesign), GIMP (like Photoshop), and Inkscape (like Illustrator).

I agree, GIMP is also a great software.

Gimp is good until you have to deal with an alpha layer for video games... there it's pretty lame.

Take a look at LibreOffice (
https://www.libreoffice.org/)I've used it to edit and create PDF documents when my job didn't want to spend the $$ on buying productivity software. It's open source. I hope you find something that suits your needs - good luck!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm an occasional user of Calc & Writer. Which program in Libre do you use for PDF editing?
