    As Good AS

    Date: Mar 27 2021

    Summary: I was so pleased to find this app. I moved over from Windows where I used Filecenter - not available on Linux. Linux has many decent apps but found none that include the scan ability

    Positive: Really please to find Linux all in one. Unusual to find a ribbon type app in Linux but not a problem after the dreaded Win. Basically everything I would want from an editor.

    Negative: Not found one yet. I have tried it for a couple of days and have not discovered any problems yet.

    Best for teachers for grading lots of PDF homeworks

    Excellent Linux alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro

    Date: Dec 30 2020

    Summary: I am retiring this month and will lose access to Acrobat Pro (one of the few things I will miss). I use only Linux at home, and the choices are limited. I stumbled onto PDF Studio, tried it and bought it, and could not be more pleased.

    Positive: Full featured replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro, with a wonderfully intuitive layout (better than Acrobat). The documentation is clear and well written. There are other resources available online, such as command line use. If I could have this or the Adobe product at no cost, my choice would be PDF Studio hands down.

    Negative: There is nothing about it so far that I don't like.

    PDF Studio Pro is my answer to the replacement for Acrobat Pro!

    Edited: Dec 19 2020

    Summary: PDF Studio Pro is a full-featured, professional application that I have decided to use to replace Acrobat Pro. The interface is easy and intuitive to use, and I recommend it for you to try without hesitation.

    Positive: PDF Studio Pro is a full-featured, professional application that you can use to replace Acrobat Pro. Pay for it one time, and you get unlimited use, without monthly subscription fees. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, too. I recommend it for you to try without hesitation.

    Negative: PDF Studio Pro is pretty much ideal for a PDF creation and editing, as far as I am concerned, so there are no cons in my opinion.

    An Excellent PDF Editing Application!

    Date: Sep 30 2020

    Summary: Qoppa's PDF Studio is an excellent, feature-rich, and cross-platform application implementing advanced PDF editing functionality. My favorite feature is simply the cross-platform availability of the program; I can edit PDFs using the same interface regardless of whether I am working on my Microsoft Windows or Ubuntu Linux workstations (with additional support for OSX as well).

    Positive: Qoppa's PDF Studio offers a feature-set rivaling even that of Adobe's own Acrobat Acrobat Pro DC. It provides comprehensive tools for filling forms, editing headers and footers, editing text and image content, redacting or sanitizing text, and appending or removing pages. Additionally, more advanced features are also offered, such as securing documents, creating watermarks, signing documents (via DocuSign), comparing PDF files, batch processes PDF files, and more.

    Negative: Quite honestly, there is nothing specific I dislike enough about this application that is severe enough to warrant inclusion in my review. Like any application, I may not agree with all features implementations or may wish them to align more closely with my requirements, or I may find some naming conventions confusing on first-blush. Still, any such criticisms would only represent my subjective expectations. Objectively, this application provides all the functionality I require and then some.

    Summary: PDF studio is a great alternative to Acrobat at right price.

    Positive: Run under Linux, Windows and Mac.
    Easy to use with a lot of function.
    Support GTK+ under Linux.
    Cheap.

    For the use that I do I have nothing to say.

    Great application to manage PDF files

    Date: Apr 16 2020

    Summary: PDF studio is a very user friendly tool that allows you to manipulate PDF documents: from adding pages, to rotate them, or insert text, or even sign and secure the document. The layout resembles office word documents, so it is familiar to most users and makes it very easy to find the icons and use the multiple options it offers. It is very useful and I definitely recommend it if you normally work with PDF files.

    Positive: The typewriter option lets you add text to PDF documents, and you can also add your signature and secure the document so that others can read it, but not modify it.

    Negative: It allows you to convert documents from Word or Excel into PDF, but not the other way around. I would like this software to let me turn PDF documents into Word or Excel files.

    Awesome useful software

    Date: Mar 23 2020

    Summary: I will replace Acrobat Pro with PDF Studio PRO... what else to say.
    I'm 16 years in the print production industry (small/large format printing), and this program does the job well.

    Positive: I highly recommend this software as a replacement for Acrobat Pro. I'm using Acrobat Pro on my job (paid CC subscription by the company) but PDF Studio 2019 is way better. In Acrobat Pro I need to pay for every plugin separately if I want to manipulate PDF (+ $1.400 or so), but all this is pretty much included in PDF Studio 2019 package. I like that it's super optimized, cross-platform, and just work for stuff I need it. Imposing part of the software is the best!

    Negative: Ribbon interface. It can be changed, but still... it's outdated and unnecessary. It looks bad on Linux and Mac.

    Great PDF Reader and Editor - SIMPLE!

    Date: Mar 19 2020

    Summary: Overall working with PDF Studio provided the exact solution I was looking for. I had become extremely accustom to the PDF software built into Mac computers, but they have recently stopped supporting my home macbook computer and I did not want to use different software between computers. This software has very friendly user interface that allowed me to become comfortable with working within it very quickly.

    Positive: The user interface is very intuitive and allows for very easy navigation and organization. I have been looking for a solution to organizing my scanned magazines and comics, this software was the perfect solution to my issue of needing to delete pages and reorganize sections.

    Negative: - I wish that it had the ability to select themes such as a dark and a light theme depending on where you are working on your documents.
    - No ability to key bind certain actions with the software (such as delete and undo delete).

    Best PDF editor I've used for Linux

    Date: Sep 03 2019

    Summary: Excellent so far -- the software installed without a hitch and to date has performed without any problems at all.

    Positive: PDF Studio for Linux let me do what I needed to do -- digitally sign PDFs using a hardware token -- with ease, without me having to jump through any hoops. I love it when software just does what it claims!

    Negative: So far, I haven't found anything to dislike, but I haven't used it extensively yet. The fact that it was able to sign things with my hardware token alone was enough to sell me, because that's one place the Linux world seems to be lacking.
