PDF Studio Editor's Review

How many of you opened a PDF file and wanted to highlight or annotate text? Maybe you felt like underlining a phrase or add a note? Well, all these actions are impossible to perform in case you use a PDF reader.

On the other hand, PDF Studio can help you do exactly that: process a PDF file exactly the way you want to. You can:

- Highlight, cross-out, underline text
- Add sticky notes, text boxes, and freehand (pencil) annotations
- Add hyperlinks (web URL, file, or email)
- Add graphical annotations: circles, rectangles, lines, arrows, polygons, clouds
- Add sound annotations and record audio right into the PDF document
- Add rubber stamps, choose from predefined stamps or build your own
- Attach files to a PDF document.

These are only a few features of PDF Studio. You can also fill in interactive and non-interactive PDF forms using the 'Typewriter feature'; you can merge and split documents, create bookmarks, rotate pages and so on. You can use PDF Studio to create and attach headers and footers to documents, apply watermarks or insert text.

When it comes to PDF security, you can protect your documents with passwords using 40-bit or 128-bit encryption.

Pluses: You can export the text from a PDF to a .TXT file. You can also extract images and save them as various graphic formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF. You can scan directly to PDF files, convert images to PDF

Drawbacks / flaws: An 'Undo' function id definitely needed.

In conclusion: PDF Studio is a useful PDF manipulation utility. You can modify and save PDF files so that they suite your immediate home or office activity.
