I’ve been using PDF Studio since version 6.62. Back then, years ago, it was IMHO the best of the many PDF editors on the market (including Acrobat-by a mile!), although it did have a few head- scratching shortcomings, including the absence of an undo function (!?) and occasional crashes when working with multiple PDF files simultaneously. These and other glitches seem to have been fully corrected, however, by a series of updates through version 12 and, most recently, to PDF Studio 2018. In addition, new functionalities and design improvements, including a totally revised navigation ribbon, have made working with the software faster and more intuitive. My main use of PDF Studio over the years has been in studying, annotating and playing classical piano music from pdf keyboard manuscripts. The software lets me:
• remove and modify manuscripts’ piano fingerings to suit my hand size and interpretation of the music,
• highlight manuscript areas that I need to focus on by overlaying them with highly transparent rectangles of pale color,
• attach audio files to the pdf manuscripts of the music I am playing so I can hear how various performers interpret the music while I am studying and playing it,
• insert bookmarks into the manuscripts to enable navigation through compositions’ sections,
• add notes directly on pdf manuscripts about my interpretation and performance of the music,
• use PDF Studio’s many other powerful features to enhance my piano studies and playing.
For years I’ve been content to use my old version 6.62, which still remains among the best PDF editors available. But at this point it’s clear to me that PDF Studio 2018 is far and away the most flexible and powerful tool for building highly creative PDF editing applications that can enhance whatever kinds of computer work one undertakes.
I am a long-time user of the 2019 version. PDF Studio does everything I need from a PDF editor in my legal practice. Having recently upgraded to the 2021 version, I can say it has just gotten faster and more versatile. Great product!
The huge opaque water marks diagonally across each page makes it quite unusable even for private use. So you have to buy one.
Info for linux users only:
I have been hunting around for a free linux pdf editor that can produce 'permanent' bookmarks, comments and annotations and I am shocked that its so difficult to find one. In windows there are so many (pdf xchange viewer).
jpdfbookmarks can add bookmarks but not anything else.
okular, one of the best readers cannot do permanent annotations, bookmarks, etc. The ones it adds are stored in its settings. so when we send the file to someone, they won't get it.
If someone finally finds one, please please tell me. :-).............
I think it's become even more difficult to find a good pdf editor for Linux, but it's still just as shocking that one doesn't seem to exist

Frankly, I had no idea that such an excellent alternative to Acrobat was available!
Although you have to get used to it of course, the functionality, ease of use and capability is spot on at a small cost compared with the current Acrobat requirement for Monterrey.
Many thanks and keep up the good work!
Qoppa PDF Studio is a fantastic piece of software for Linux users (I only use Linux, so I can't speak for the other OSs) It does everything that Acrobat,Elements does, and maybe more, and it does it really well! It's by far the best PDF editor solution for Linux! The best part is you only pay once, and you own the software forever, with the option to update to a new version if it has a new feature that you need or want for a discounted price aswell! The only problem or annoyans is that the UI scaling on 4K displays is not the best, but you can set the DPI to 1000, and it gets better. The actuall documents does not suffer form this scaling issue, the documents you work with are super crisp and clear. If you are a Linux user, you need to try PDF studio by Qoppa, and if you're a Windows user and wanting to move over to Linux but don't dare because you need a great PDF solution, you just found it!
I like Qoppa PDF Studio because it helps me get things done. I don't have to keep looking for somewhere to convert a file or send a signed copy of a form to someone's email. It does it all in the one program. I am very impressed. I want to shout it from the rooftops, i can't stop talking about it.
PDF studio Pro is a fantastic product to create and edit your pdfs. It helped me transition from Windows to Linux as far as pdf editing is concerned. It has great features to enable the editing and annotating the pdfs. And unlike other paid and free software, it lets you import and export your settings to quickly restore your favorite layout of the product. To me this was one of the distinguishing features.
