QOPPA PDF STUDIO: SAME AS ACROBAT AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE

Any office must work with PDFs. Today every document digital is sent in PDF format, because it has the advantage of be an open format, so there are dozens of programs that display that format easily and for free. The problem arises when it comes to creating and above all ways to edit PDFs: programs that do these things cost a lot,especially the famous Adobe Acrobat Pro (more than 200 euros a year).

And they often don’t work well on GNU / Linux. Instead, Qoppa PDF Studio has a much lower cost, which you can reduce further with our discount coupon, and offers all the features of Adobe Acrobat working perfectly on GNU / Linux (and also Windows and MacOS). It also offers functions that, at the moment, they are not available in the Adobe software. Among his more interesting features we note the possibility of editing texts, images, paths, and even the shades within PDFs, in addition to the complete validation of PDF/A for long term archiving of documents. The conversion function to HTML5 and SVG, is very useful to transform a PDF into an easy format to publish on a website and edit with any graphical web editing program. Another feature that is not present in Adobe Acrobat is the personal comment library or tool chest, which allows users to store recurring comments in order to reuse them when reviewing a document with just a few clicks.

On the security side, fundamental for company offices, the redaction tool can eliminate sensitive portions of a document, to avoid that private data is inadvertently published, and PDF Studio also supports encryption and digital signatures (as required by Italian law). For those who work with lots of PDFs, the batch functions allow the execution of various edits automatically on multiple documents.
