    Not perfect, but gives you a lot of control over PDFs (more than Bluebeam in some respects) and has solid OCR implementation (only available in Bluebeam Extreme).

    Layout is like adobe but has all the bluebeam functions, unfortunately the free version will leave a watermark on the doc if you try to save any edited version. $50 for a single license is too steep maybe $5-12 not $50

    Master PDF is no alternative to Bluebeam. It shares a few aspects of the GUI, but they are poorly implemented. The tools do not come close to Bluebeam's set and have some basic issues, such as scaling a text box stretching text instead of reflowing it at the original font size/scale.
