Your PDF Studio in one application with free trial features **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022 **What do you like best about PDF Studio?** 1. The competitive advantage of this PDF tool is the ability to create a PDF from different types of files (Image, MS Office, Multiple files selection at once, Or even directly from a connected scanner which I find very practical). 2. All other PDF normal features are also included but I think this is already available in many different tools as well. 3. The convert tab gives me good options to create and convert to different types of files (Text, Web view, HTML) So I don't have to use different tools, one tool to create, and also then generate different formats for our use cases. 4. Forms tab gives also a great option to add BUTTONs or texts quickly and easily in the PDF which then can do a specific configured action. 5. I also like the sanitize, digital signature, and timestamps (Did not try it on a tablet, only on a windows OS so far). **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** 1. Price is not suitable for personal usage, I think it's more for companies or professionals (But I like that it's also possible per quantities). 2. As with most of the tools, with the trial version has some limits, I don't like that during the trial I can not use all features to have a good judgment of the tool, this applies for example to apply a watermark on each page (On top of the PDF page, I find the position of the watermark not suitable). **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. All-in-one tool, especially create and customize the PDF as per your needs and then generate different formats out of it based on your needs without a need for another tool to do the second step. Of course, basic other features in PDF, but this is obvious in all other tools as well. ### 14. best PDF tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Byron P. | Administrator, CRM, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 20, 2022 **What do you like best about PDF Studio?** I like that PDF Studio is cross platform so I can use it even under Linux. When using other PDF tools un der linux sometimes the text would shift around making the document slightly off, this does not happen with PDF Studio. **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** For me the least useful part is create PDF From MS Office because of using Libre Office and saving documents in open office format instead of MS Office format. **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** The biggest benefit is being able to have a PDF Tool under Linux that works without shifting text around - Libre Office Draw was shifting text on me. ### 15. The best PDF Editor! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonatan R. | Technical Support Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022 **What do you like best about PDF Studio?** I love The OCR feature. it works much better than any other PDF editor out there, and its much simpler to use unlike other PDF editors; we tried the trial for a few days and purchased the pro version and are happy with it. **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** Nothing, everything works amazingly well and we're using it everyday! **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a large amount of PDF's at our organization, and Qoppa's PDF Studio helps us reduce the time it takes us to update our PDF's there is no need anymore to convert to word or keep a backup.

All in all this is a far superior PDF program . **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** Lately, when booting up my computer, I have found that the program is slow to load.

Adobe competitor? **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Austin Z. | Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about PDF Studio?** PDF pro offers a lot(if not all) the same features as Adobe PDF does but without the monthly fee. You can edit content like images and text and sign your name easily. **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** If I can find any fault in the program, it's that the icons are a bit small. The layout is overall fine though. **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** In todays world so many companies are going to a subscription-based model. You get all the updates which is nice but you never own the software. PDF studio offers two paid versions that you make a one time payment and then own the software. You get the advanced features you need without the cost each month. Over time, this will lead to a lot of savings. ### 18.

Also, the UI of the PDF studio has a great learning curve in the starting feel lots of difficulties for the fresher to understand this **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Their SDK helps us to integrate their features and library to use in our projects, simply importing their mvn dependency.

Very useful **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antonio R. | Gerente de oficina, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2018 **What do you like best about PDF Studio?** It is so easy to combine multiple PDFs. You can even drag and drop a word document into the program and it will automatically convert it to a PDF. It is also very easy to rotate, delete, reorder and add pages. It has a lot of editing capabilities that are not readily available in other PDF softwares. **What do you dislike about PDF Studio?** I use the software a lot to combine PDFs, and it would be nice to be able to save the one I just combined, and then "clear" it and start again. I would also like to be able to choose the font for the typewriter. I would also appreciate a notification before saving if I haven't applied the redactions I have set up. **Recommendations to others considering PDF Studio:** Take some time to look through and play around with all the different functionalities at the top. This is truly the easiest to use to manipulate PDFs. **What problems is PDF Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?** PDF studio is a very easy way to manage PDFs, which is something I do all day long. PDF Studio allows me to easily redact documents when necessary before sending them out to clients. ### 32.
