PDF Studio is an easy to use, yet powerful PDF editor tool. It allows users to review and annotate PDF documents, scan-to-pdf, fill PDF forms, change security, highlight text and more…
View & Print: Open any pdf document and send it to the printer. Documents will be automatically resized to fit the paper size. PDF Studio supports all types of pdf fonts.
Sticky Notes: Open any pdf document and add your sticky notes or comments to the document using text and graphic markup tools. You can add free text notes, or draw shapes such as lines, circles, rectangles to work with the existing content of the pdf document. You can jump from one note to another using the annotations navigation pane.
Scan to PDF: Scan documents from any Twain compliant scanner into a new or existing pdf document.
Rubber Stamps: Mark your pdf documents as Urgent, Paid, Confidential. You can also create your own custom stamps such as a signature stamp. All stamps can be saved to be reused later.
Text Highlight, Underline, Cross Out: Select a paragraph on the page and highlight, underline or cross out the text from it.
Passwords and Permissions: Add passwords or change permissions on your pdf documents. You can set /remove permissions to print, to modify, to copy, to annotate and to fill form fields. PDF Studio encrypt pdf documents using the higher security level (128-bit RC4 encryption).
Verify Digital Signatures: Verify the validity of digital signatures.
PDF Interactive Forms: Fill any pdf form and save it locally. Once the form is filled, you can flatten form fields to obtain a non-editable version of the form.
Audio Comment: Record or import a sound and add it to a pdf document.
Extract Text: Extract text from a pdf document to a text file.
Hyperlinks: Add hyperlinks to your pdf documents.
Modify Pages: Append, merge or split documents. Delete, insert, replace pages in a pdf document. Or extract pages to create a new pdf document.
Batch functions: Stamp, Print, or Encrypt multiple documents with a single click as a batch.
PDF To Images: Convert pages of a pdf document to JPG, TIFF (optimized for scanning) or PNG images.
PDF From Images: Import JPG, TIFF or PNG images into a document.
Add Text, Image Content: Add titles, watermarks, page numbers and more…
Import/Export: Import and Export comments and form data in FDF, XFDF or XDP format.
Any platform, no third party programs required: Work on Macintosh, Linux, Windows, AIX. And because PDF Studio uses Qoppa’s proprietary technology to view and modify PDF files, it doesn’t require Adobe Reader or any other other software to run.

Makes you wonder when the best they can do is provide you with a Windows screen shot ?!

@Picon Just what I thought.

I use PDFclerk and I love it. Much more Mac like too.

can this do reflow on documents/text? This would be handy for reading on e-ink devices if it can reflow text for different page sizes…

Yeah that’s not cool.
Does anyone know of a an app that can actually create fillable pdf forms? Other than Acrobat, of course.

I second the previous comments. Doesn’t give me any confidence in the product or developer. Along with the negative comments on macupdate and the still high price, I’ll skip on this one. Thanks @MJ Valente, will try out PDFclerk.

I use Stone Design’s Create to fill in my PDF forms. Granted, it’s not specifically for working with PDF files, and yes, it costs more than this, but it does LOTS of things. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of graphics applications. You wouldn’t buy it for just doing PDF forms, but if you already own it or are looking for a great graphics application and outstanding tech support, plus free upgrades for life, you might consider it. With Create, you can do just about all of the things this PDF application can do … and a lot more. I wonder why I never see the Stone applications on MacZot.

Quite expensive for the occasional “filler” that blows through here. At least it saves a lot of us some $$ :)
May 29th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Yeah… like others have said, the screenshot reallly turns me off. That jumped out at me when I saw the page. That does make me lose confidence in the dev.
Nevertheless, I’m going to try out this, pdfpen, and pdfclerk, though, to see which one I like better (has anyone tried these and had anyinsights to share?).
May 29th, 2008 at 8:14 am
@jailerjoe: PDFpenPro will create PDF forms.

PDF Studio’s engine is VERY solid. Because the PDF format is extensive (more than a 1000 pages), it is quite a complicated thing to create a solid PDF rendering engine. PDF Studio can open most PDF documents and display most fonts. Also it is also compatible with Adobe Reader: all the annotations created in PDF Studio will display in Adobe Reader / Acrobat and vice-versa. This is not the case for most products out there. So get over the Windows screenshot and try thinking in terms of features and not only looks! PDF Studio was developed in Java and is multiplatform.

And now we’ve got the Mac Screenshot!
Thanks leila.

@Leila
Thanks for the info about the rendering engine. That’s good information to have when considering purchasing.
To address this: “This is not the case for most products out there. So get over the Windows screenshot and try thinking in terms of features and not only looks!”
It’s not that we have a problem with a screenshot being windows. It’s just that it calls into question the commitment of the devs to the software. It’s slightly worrying.
As to the app itself, I put it through its paces. It just didn’t seem like there was much on there that leopard’s preview can’t do (besides rubber stamping, and I’m not going to pay $36, let alone $60, to rubber stamp a pdf. It seemed like a good app, but unless I’m missing something, it’s essentially obsolete, or at least simply another contender with a limited feature set. Now, I’ve downloaded pdfpen and pdfclerk, and I’ll take those for a spin, because they seem to have a sightly more complete feature set, but that’s about all for now.
