PDF Studio Reviews

Summary: PDF studio is a great alternative to Acrobat at right price.
It's a great tools, easy to use, with a friendly interface, and if you don't like ribbon style toolbars is always possible to switch back to classic style.

Highly recommend to Linux users.

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

Negative: Ribbon interface.
For the use that I do I have nothing to say.

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.

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 it's outdated and unnecessary.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.

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).

Summary: I recommend PDF studio for anyone looking for an alternative to Adobe.

Positive: PDF Studio Pro is a PDF editor with incredible features. I consider it easy to use and also provides a view for files with different resolutions, as well as works to create, sign and add comments or annotations. It also has important options for printing files.

Negative: I currently do not have any negative results for this product.

Summary: Fantastic application, it has many features including the ability to modify the text and functionality of the OCR. Much better than Adobe.

Positive: Digital signatures, Loupe tool, Advanced print & search options, PRO measurement too, New in 2018 version: Text, Markup & Graphical Annotations, as well as Form Filling now supported.

Negative: Extra Features Require Payment, Any feature not included in the freeware version requires purchasing a license to upgrade.

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.
