Yes you can just convert pef to dng with the dng converter. Or you can shoot DNG and just open the raw. Do note that the K-1 has a bunch of advanced features that the older camera raw does not support like multiple area white balance. In the latest lightroom, it works with the K-3 or at least it doesn't shift to green anymore. Lightroom also has the latest adobe profile for the K-1 where the older camera raw you are stuck with just embedded. I use embedded usually myself, so maybe that's not a big deal. Skin tones can be better sometimes under adobe's profile though.
Right now there is a deal for $8 a month for lightroom and photoshop CC. Not a bad deal really. Then again if you are running a computer that still has CS6 it might be time to upgrade. My older i5 laptop struggles with k-3 files even.
