PDF Studio Standard2019.2.2

PDF Studio Pro from Qoppa is an awesome alternative to the pricier Adobe Acrobat Pro program. I used Adobe Acrobat X Pro for many years in Windows, but now I am a Mac user and Acrobat is simply too expensive. I downloaded the trial version of PDF Studio Pro and was amazed at the capabilities it brings and It allows me to easily edit documents, annotate, format fields, etc. It allows easy reordering of pdf documents and digital signature. I would say the best part of this product is that is affordable while maintaining all the capabilities the more expensive products like Adobe Acrobat brings.

PDF studio have an "import pdf in layer" future, wich permit me to build a pdf multi-layers (layers of a Affinity Designer project, but AD can't export in a pdf with layers, only all layers fusioned or 1 layer by pdf) With Preview or others, it's not possible to see layers or build layers by using others pdf.

I've used Skim for taking notes for school and notating pdf files of articles I need to reference. pdf Studio is a much simpler program! It took 5 minutest to learn this program. I wish all programs were that simple to learn.

This product is pretty good when it comes to the batch processing, which is something that I will use on a regular basis given the work that I do. I also think the Google Docs feature they added will help out alot with people like me who find it easier to be able to access my documents without having take additional steps to complete my work. Time is money to me.

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

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.

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.

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).
