I could do actions I was unable to do on other PDF software, it's friendly user and simplify the work that needs to be done.
Pros
Friendly user, the best alternative to Acrobat DS. It simplifies the work and the results are amazing. I like the interface that is nice and simple.
PDF Studio is probably the best quality/price for a professional use.
Thank you!
I'll spread the word about Qoppa!!
Cons
Text editing isn't as straightforward as in other PDF editors. The tool bar is tough to navigate and the interface could use a modern refresh.

A Good Alternative To More Expensive PDF Softwares
Reviewed on 31/03/2022
Pros
We use this as an alternative to more expensive softwares that require a subscription. Besides a few polish issues, it meets everyone of our needs with pdf documents.
Cons
The UI is outdated and it's hard to convince people who have used other softwares to use this one instead, but that's not the fault of the product.

They didn't upgrade my licence regardless these problems.
Will use it for appending pages, but that's the only thing I might need it. Otherwise built-in MacOS Preview and Foxit does all the rest even better!
Pros
Many useful features, price (one time payment and relatively low)
Cons
Outdated design.
Not very user friendly implementation.
Renders every page of a multipage documents one by one - for up to 1-2 seconds each!! And even after rendering, doesn't load into RAM properly, so when you going back to it, it rerenders! Absolutely impossible to work like that. Switched to a free and better tool (Foxit). It happens to a 100 pages document (around 200 mb) on a Intel 9 Windows 10 machine, as well as on M1 Macbook Pro...
No feature for table of contents that would be recognised in other readers.

It is such a relief when a product *just works* how you want it to.
It is such a relief when a product *just works* how you want it to.
Pros
PDF Studio has all the features without cluttering the user interface. Tools that are usually a little more complicated to use are surprisingly intuitive in PDF Studio. Not to mention they offer a perpetual license at a fraction of the price of popular competitors' annual subscriptions...
Cons
I haven't managed to get the dark theme to work. And I am not really bothered by this.
