Affinity Bundle instead of using Creative cloud

Ever since Adobe moved to a subscription based system there has been a scramble to keep the old versions of the Adobe suite on your Mac. With a machine still running the old OS like Mojave (macOS 10.14) you can still use the old version of the Adobe products without paying the subscription based system. When you go to Catalina 10.15 which was the first OS that was a true 64 Bit version of macOS the old Adobe Product wont work along with a few other products like Office 2011 and some Steam games for Mac like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to name just a few. In short anything 32 Bit stops working unless you have a 3rd party app to allow it to run on 64 Bit. Outside of keeping an old Mac to run your very old version of Photoshop you are forced to look either to the subscription based Adobe Cloud version or look for a new product to use.

So you have enrolled your Apple devices to Intune to manage your iOS/iPadOS devices by pushing out policies to those mobile enrolled. This process allows organisations to manage Apple Devices, much like Jamf or Kandji which are a paid service. If you have a 365 Business account Intune is part of the service. Regardless you will need an Apple Business Manager portal to “manage” the Automatic Device Enrolment (ADE) (Master Data Serves MDS).

Preview scans multiple pages but only shows the first one

Utilising Preview as your PDF tool for all scans on a Mac is an exceptional feature. The process is remarkably reliable, and once the data is obtained, it is straightforward to manipulate and organise the documents in the desired order. The only minor inconvenience I have encountered is that saving amended PDF documents can sometimes be frustrating. In the past, I would save the process as I worked, checking the document’s integrity by highlighting it and pressing the spacebar, which would display a preview of the document’s final appearance. However, this method has become unreliable, so I have switched to exporting as a PDF in Preview to ensure that the document is saved in the correct format. This approach prevents me from closing the edited file until I have reviewed the PDF preview.
