PDF Studio 2019- solid choice for Linux users, researchers, who want a cross-platform solution.
PDF Studio is reliable tool for annotating PDFs. It is fast, easy to use, has a good UI that allows users to switch between the tradition menu bar and a ribbon bar. I use it daily for reducing the size of PDFs and converting them to png image formats for distribution.
PROSIt is truly cross-platform- I used it on my Linux, Windows, and Apple systems without any problem. Its one of the few PDF editors for Linux. It's easy to use- the menu is well designed and its much easier to find the tools I need than Adobe Acrobat with its convoluted odd menu system. It has reliable OCR built into the software and good tools for optimizing PDFs (reducing size) and for saving as image files (jpeg, png, tiff, etc).
CONSIt cannot open dynamic XFA forms, but considering that most non-Adobe PDF editors can't read them, its not unusual. Dynamic XFA forms are uncommon PDF forms render drawing and layout information. Even Adobe products don't properly support them. Unfortunately, our office used these forms regularly.
Reason for choosing PDF Studio
PDF Studio was the first to offer a native Linux version. The developer, Qoppa Software responds very quickly to all requests, bug reports, and suggestions. Support is outstanding.

Finally a PDF editor that is fast and smooth even on huge architectural drawing.
Fantastic. Because of the tab tool bar interface, I can find tools I did not know existed and try them and because of the tap tool bar, it is not overly cluttered.
PROSLove the interface and ease of finding the tools.
CONSApp does not respect my Logi Options mouse settings. Zooms to fast with mouse wheel.
Reasons for switching to PDF Studio
Acrobat is too slow and sluggish and because they’re trying to make this clean interface. All the tools require several clicks deep to get to them.

Complete PDF editing suite
PDF Studio has a user-friendly design and is the finest alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It is quick, simple to use, and has a nice user interface.
PROSIt is the best PDF editor and converter available with a low-cost perpetual license. It have optical character recognition capabilities. The best thing is that it is cross-platform and works flawlessly on Linux, Windows, and Macbooks.
CONSI've never had any big issues using PDF Studio. However, the OCR tool did not always recognize the text.
