Adobe Acrobat PDF Licences

The request was successful.

Dear Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council,

As part of my research project could you please inform me if you use the Adobe Acrobat PDF editing software within the council, and if so how many licences do you subscribe to and what is your annual spend on this software.
It would also be beneficial to know who is responsible for purchasing licences of Adobe Acrobat PDF.

Yours faithfully,

Rebecca Hughes

FoI Request, Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council

Dear Ms Hughes
FOI 12087
I am emailing to confirm the receipt of your recent request for
information to Wigan Council. This has been logged with reference
indicated above and will be forwarded to the relevant department for
action.
We will respond as soon as possible and in most cases no later than 20
working days after the receipt of your request i.e. by 8 July 2021.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has recognised the unprecedented
challenges all are facing during the pandemic and that people may
experience delays when making information rights requests during the
current situation.  This is because the Council’s resources are focused on
ensuring that at risk and vulnerable residents are supported at this time.
 
If you have any comments or questions in the meantime, please direct them
to [1][Wigan Council request email], or in writing to the address below.
The Council does not charge for most FOI requests, but charges may be made
for actual disbursements incurred such as photocopying, printing, postage
and packaging, and only if these charges amount to more than £20.00. If a
charge is to be made, confirmation of the payment due will be given before
the information is provided and payment may be requested prior to the
provision of the information.
Kind regards
Kath Peace
Information Governance Assistant
