PDF Studio
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
What it is
PDF Studio is a PDF editor that maintains compatibility with the PDF Standard and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It creates PDFs from scans, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, and image files, and can edit text, images, and shapes directly in a PDF. Redaction and OCR are available, with OCR creating searchable documents on the supported platforms. Pro adds batch processing for multiple PDFs and an Action Wizard for automating tasks. Integrations include DocuSign, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive; cloud documents are edited as temporary local copies and returned to the service when saved. Security tools include password protection, encryption, permissions, digital signatures, digital IDs, and trusted certificates. Pro also supports PDF/A, PDF/X, and PDF/UA validation or conversion and creation of accessible tagged PDFs. The free Viewer reads and annotates PDFs and fills interactive forms. PDF Studio Pro costs $149, paid once for one user on two computers, with a perpetual license. The Unix installer lacks native OCR and scanning features.
