Just as point of comparison, Acrobat Pro 11 on OS X is 893MB for the
actual application (the .app) which contains a bunch of resources; but
there are other resources scattered elsewhere not accounted for. There
are 500MB of built-in plugins ranging from Accessibility to HTML2PDF
to Preflight to TouchUp. I think if you want the functionality, any
app is just necessarily going to end up being really big. LibreOffice
on Linux is not some Tonka Toy app (although Tonka Toys are badass,
they're obviously not the Real Deal) either, and it has a commensurate
size:

# dnf install libreoffice
Install  85 Packages
Total download size: 126 M
Installed size: 393 M
