A powerful yet affordable PDF editor
PDF Studio is a powerful productivity software that enables you to easily create and edit PDF files on your desktop. Developed by Qoppa Software, this PDF editing program offers a wide range of features that can make it easily compete with the best PDF software around.
As an all-in-one PDF editor, PDF Studio is available on the most popular PC operating systems and platforms. It is even fully compatible with Adobe Acrobat specifications, which makes it a highly-reliable and affordable alternative. This program has a free trial and two subscription plans differing on the offered features.
What does PDF Studio do?
With PDF Studio, you can create a PDF and edit its elements without switching to a different program. Here, you have the ability to start from scratch and enter text and other media. You can even scan physical documents to insert them as pages in your file. Plus, converting other formats like Microsoft Office to PDF and vice-versa can be done. OCR (optical character recognition) is even supported.
Once your file is finished, or if you’d like to check out a different document from another source, it’s easy enough to edit, review, and even annotate. This software’s editing tools are numerous and highly versatile. You can directly edit the text, images, shapes, and such. You can even fill in blanks and allow other users access to them and enable password protection.
Lastly, there is a batch editing function, allowing multiple files to be edited, annotated, and even converted. The program is easy to use thanks to its intuitive interface design similar to other PDF editors. It also offers an online user guide and knowledge base articles—although these can be long and overwhelming. However, there’s no interactive tutorial that plays on the software, so first-time users can get confused.
Worth the price
All in all, PDF Studio is a great alternative to the popular PDF editors—especially if you’re looking for something that’s more affordable but still has enough powerful capabilities to be highly useful. While its user guide isn’t the most optimized for all users, there’s no denying that its wide variety of functions makes its subscription plans most tempting. Additionally, there is a free trial available for download to test it out.

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. More
