PDF Studio is affordable and powerful PDF Editor for Windows, Mac, Linux.
Cloud-based is a PDF solution that enables businesses of all sizes to view, sign, comment, edit, export, and share documents with annotations and online storage.
What I loved most about this software is that it's super simple to use and has a variety of functions which will make you wonder why you've been using word all these years.
It's not that important, but the program's environment is ugly, the colors are gray and it makes it look like an outdated old program ... the truth is that it's visually unattractive.
It have optical character recognition capabilities. The best thing is that it is cross-platform and works flawlessly on Linux, Windows, and Macbooks.
I have never encountered any serious problems with PDF Studio and never wanted to do something that this editor couldn't do.
I like the interface that is nice and simple. PDF Studio is probably the best quality/price for a professional use.
It works on Linux - no other package comes close on Linux and Adobe no longer support Linux.
Friendly user, the best alternative to Acrobat DS. It simplifies the work and the results are amazing.
I questioned this with Qoppa and was told this was a deliberate decision on their part. This is imho a stupid strategy because I became wholly turned off the company even though I liked the product.
This software is super easy to use, there are prompts that guide you along. There are so many features I love with this software.
The worst of Adobe's problems in my opinion is the lack of Desktop application in the Linux OS.
This reader is very attractive, the user interface is very compelling. I love the way it works flawlessly and love the navigation bar.
It's a huge inconvenience, completely illogical, and worse than prior versions of the software.
It is very good and I have a different skill for my work. All my customers and all my colleagues are impressed by it.
Sometimes I get lost when Adobe Updates its suite of products. I also miss the billing renewal emails so they catch me off guard.
I think the best features are: the ability to edit text on PDFs, the ability to combine or split PDF documents, and the ability to send documents to coworkers for signature or comments.
The only downside to it is its premium pricing. Compare to WPS office, its abit on the high end as far as subscriptions are concerned.
Michelle T.: Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a paralegal. I work at a small firm. And I give Adobe Acrobat 5 out of 5. Before using Acrobat Reader, I used to read PDFs either on my browser or just trying to download them by themselves, and it didn't really work because sometimes it would not be able to open properly. So then I switched to Adobe Acrobat Reader. I ended up choosing Adobe Acrobat Reader because it gave me a little bit more functionality than not having it. So I was able to highlight the things that I was reading and also make comments in the PDF that I'll be reviewing. I found it quite easy to integrate it into my business because it's something that everybody is already aware of, so you don't need to train them too much on it because they're already familiar with the software. And it's easy. You can use your email address to sign up. So, it was easy to integrate. I recommend using it because, especially if you're a small business, it's a good way for you to be able to access PDFs, and it's also cost-efficient.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
