Who can afford one of these. Not me.
You could try ebay.com or your local online selling app for a used one. I found a used one (basic model) nothing fancy. Since I wasn’t going to use it for anything spectacular. I thought if I find it useful, I can always upgrade to the newer model.
Can your free files be downloaded NOT using “Yourpdf.online” converter? I get so many viruses that I don’t want to install anymore stuff on my computer. Any advise? Your SVG’s are adorable.
Which one are you trying to download? I am trying to fix them to be zip files but I have a backlog to fix!
