Well, by mistake I first posted my review in the Mac section. My apologies.
Disclaimer: I see there are two entries for 'PDF Studio for Linux' at cnet.download.com. I am posting my review to both entries.
One of the things that was preventing me to switch to open-source Linux (read Ubuntu) full time was the lack of a reliable OCR program. This solves it beautifully. All other features of Adobe Acrobat available here (as far as I can see)
Cons
At first I had to use SimpleScan / XScan to scan from my multipurpose HP and then read the .pdf in PDF Studio, but then my son helped me figure out how to get sane daemon working in ubuntu and now I can scan directly into PDF Studio. For most people this should not be a problem as they can scan with XScan / Simplescan - save as pdf and do the job perfectly fine.
Summary
Good, solid program with features comparable to Acrobat. OCR is a great plus.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 2, 2014<p/>BTW, the review was for version 9.
