RUBAIYAT  I really can not see the point of these programs. Except for the ability to fill in pdf forms just about everything else can be done in Preview in OSX 10.5.

What Mac users really need is a method for distilling postscript files or checking for adequate resolution and to convert rgb intrusions in cmyk .pdfs going to commercial printers.

Neat and fast ways of splitting up multi-page pdfs for importing into Cocoa apps would be good as well.

I agree with all the other posters that this is the laziest port of software I have seen in a long time and I would not dream of paying what they are asking.

Maybe the message will hit home and they will do some work on this after realising that the Mac market is not as desperate as the PC market.

TRRLL  Highlighting works nicely, but not enough to justify the price and the otherwise very poor Mac interface.

CHRIS HABIG  Considering the following:

1. Preview already does just about every single thing this app claims to do.

2. The app is an ugly Windows port.

3. They want $60 dollars for it!!

I can't recommend this application.

ANDREW SCOTT  I tried this application only briefly and found the interface to be very dated.

I was interested in the stamp feature. I imported a scan of my signature but it only seems to accept JPEG and GIF formats so devising a stamp with alpha channel transparency, so that it simulates writing your name, say on a dotted line, is rather ineffectual due to the bounding box of the image.

It may be that this software has the power and flexibility you need but for my limited purposes it's too expensive and too unpleasant. Oh well.

SOUNDSGOODTOME  This is frankly the worst-looking application I've seen in many years. It looks like a bad OS9 app. No; it looks like a bad OS8 app.

Perhaps it performs well; I don't really know. Due to its unseemly appearance, I simply wasn't the least bit interested in determining how well it performs.

I gained quite a bit of insight when I checked the developer's web site to see if the app has particular features I need. Links to the online user manual for detailed information revealed that PDF Studio is a Windows application that has simply been "ported" to the Mac platform.

I don't have a problem with that, in theory. Other developers have successfully ported applications from one platform to another. No problem! But in this case, no effort was made to make the application attractive or to make it look like a Mac app. (Or any effort that was made was 100% unsuccessful.)

Although on the surface PDF Studio appears to have more features than Smile On My Mac's "PDF Pen," I'll live without the extra features in order to keep working with an app that's a pleasure to look at (while working).
