Acrobat functionality at less than half the price. I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 Standard on Windows XP for many years for personal and small business use. With Microsoft ending XP support, I upgraded to Windows 8.1, which is not supported by Acrobat 7. To continue using Acrobat, I'd either have to buy Acrobat XI Standard at $300, or subscribe to Acrobat XI Pro at $240/yr. I looked at several other PDF Editor options and found that PDF Studio Pro 8 does everything I need at less than half the price. Since people typically use only a small subset of a software product's features, the best thing about PDF Studio is that you can download a fully-functioning free trial to see if it does everything you need. The trial version places a watermark and header on every page, so make sure you only test it out on copies of your documents. The trial version will warn you about this when you attempt to save a document.Earlier versions of PDF Studio had significant drawbacks, such as no OCR capability, but that's been fixed in version 8. It seems to have all the features of Acrobat 7 and more. In particular, the Pro version lets you do batch operations such as applying headers and watermarks to multiple files simultaneously. It has a few minor shortcomings compared to Acrobat 7: You can't wrap the display of long bookmarks, but version 9 will apparently display the full boomark as a tooltip. If you want to modify print options such as auto-rotate, page scaling, and whether to print annotations, you have to do it via Edit / Preferences / Print instead of in the Print Dialog. Unlike Acrobat, PDF Studio doesn't include a PDF printer driver to create PDFs from other applications. Many applications such as Microsoft Office and Open Office have that feature built in, but if you want to create a PDF from other applications such as your browser, you'll need to download a free PDF printer driver such as doPDF or CutePDF Writer.Overall, PDF Studio Pro does everything I need and more, at less than half the price of Adobe Acrobat. It's well worth checking out.
