It's not clear to me whether all of the apps offered are subscription-based, though. It's a model I'd be more willing to try than subscriptions to individual apps, although its OS and app offerings... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I can't say that it's the best solution, but I use Nitro PDF from Setapp https://setapp.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

There's also Sizzy (https://sizzy.co). It's available standalone, but it's also included with a Setapp subscription (https://setapp.com — Mac app subscription service). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
