I would first check the integrity of the file.
I downloaded it here (not installed it, as I don't have SL6.5).
It unpacked fine though using "rpm2cpio filename.rpm | cpio -idmv"
I have the following checksum on it:

MD5: f39d0ef9c4fd74cbfcbffa37f0ee18f2  PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm
SHA1: 2e69d1b564cfebcac5cba9244bd04f64cedc959f  PDFStudio_v9_0_2_linux.rpm

It has an odd directory structure, it seems to put everything in 
/pdfstudio9.
