"Feature-Rich and Cost-Effective PDF Solution"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I like the ease of use with UPDF and its intuitive nature. I appreciate the fact that UPDF can convert files into another format, like Word or PowerPoint, making it easier to incorporate with my other work. Additionally, UPDF offers everything that Adobe does but for a fraction of the price, and it provides a lifetime license. I'm also able to highlight or manipulate a PDF document, which I used to regard as just a photo rather than a workable document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I'm not quite sure I understand all the features. And it would be helpful if when you click on a particular feature, some explanatory information was available on exactly how to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid PDF Editor with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I love the aesthetics of UPDF; they are just appealing to the eye. The cloud service included for me is a great way to keep my already congested iCloud from becoming more cluttered. I also paid for a lifetime license at a reduced rate, so I can't complain. The initial setup of UPDF was very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I find the documentation lacking since there's literally nothing on how to actually use the software, and what's there is so outdated that it's obsolete. The lack of templates is disappointing; users are led to believe there's a fleet to choose from, but there are maybe 10, if that. The AI feature was hands down the absolute worst iteration I've seen, to the point of being laughably unusable. I also noticed there's no direct integration possible, which limits its functionality with other tools I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean Interface, But Hidden Functionality"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I use UPDF daily to edit and read PDFs and I am quite happy with it. The structure of UPDF is very modern and clean, which I really like and it helps me view documents more completely. I find it quite lightweight, and it's easy to set up. I also appreciate that the presentation is clean, as other PDF reading platforms are very cluttered. I do not regret switching from Master PDF to UPDF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

Finding some buttons for certain functions is a bit difficult because the platform is very clean and the buttons are too hidden. A search button to locate functions would be very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-Saving PDF Tool with Powerful AI Features"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I like that I can OCR scan any PDF's that doesn't use text, and I like the AI summaries and capabilities built right in to make it easy to get the data I need without having to read the whole document. It saves a lot of time using this tool to review PDFs. I use it every day with all PDFs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I wish I didn't have to pay for a yearly subscription to the AI functions. It would be nice if it was included in the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing UPDF of UPDF

We're glad to hear that you find our OCR scanning and AI summaries helpful for reviewing PDFs efficiently. We appreciate your feedback about the subscription model for AI functions, and we'll take it into consideration for future updates.

"Affordable and Versatile PDF Editing for Educators"
What do you like best about UPDF?

Considering the price, I appreciate that UPDF allows me to do almost anything I need when editing a document. I find it convenient to edit or delete text to make corrections, and I also value the ability to sign documents whenever necessary. Since I don't require a wide range of advanced features, UPDF offers just the right set of tools for my needs as an educator. Additionally, I like that I can convert files to formats other than PDF, which adds to its usefulness for me. I use it for school and for work on a weekly basis. Using UPDF has been relatively easy to edit my documents. There are times where I have to look up how to use certain tools, but the variety of resources from the website helps. I contacted customer support once about a question on the product, and they reached back to me within 24 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I haven't encountered many drawbacks while using UPDF. However, one issue I have noticed is that it can be difficult to erase text or images when they are embedded within another image. It will require you to use the OCR text recognition feature to further edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience since using the full version of UPDF"
What do you like best about UPDF?

UPDF has provided everything I was looking for reading, commenting on, and editing PDFs. I really appreciate the variety of features it offers, especially considering its price. I've been using it regularly for my schoolwork over the past two years and intend to keep relying on it. I also value the convenience of being able to use it across multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

Personally, I found the software somewhat challenging to use initially due to the number of features it offers, which made for a bit of a learning curve. Additionally, I have experienced having to log in repeatedly on the same mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing UPDF of UPDF

We're thrilled to hear that UPDF has been a valuable tool for your schoolwork and that you appreciate the variety of features it offers at an affordable price.

"Effortless Multidevice License, Perfect for Language Needs"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I love that UPDF is very easy to use and convenient, and I don't need any extra applications to understand how to use it. It's also great that the software works smoothly without any problems or crashes and is of high quality. I find it amazing that my wife and I can use one license together on two laptops and two phones, even though we live in different locations, which is perfect for us. The translation feature is very important for me, and I find the ability to prepare documents in Spanish from UPDF very useful. I also enjoy using the mobile version for scanning and reading PDFs on both Android and iPhone. It works much better than other solutions out there, even those built into Apple products. Additionally, the integration with Microsoft Office is very important, and it works flawlessly. We used to pay yearly for another product, but UPDF is a perfect solution that doesn’t require annual payments. Switching from Foxit to UPDF has been worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I think UPDF really needs to add three more languages: Thai, Ukrainian, and Polish. I can help with this because I'm fluent in all three languages and worked as a localization specialist. Adding these translations would be important for many people who would like to use the software fully in their native language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing UPDF of UPDF

We're thrilled to hear that you find UPDF easy to use and convenient, and that it meets your language needs. We appreciate your feedback about adding additional languages, and we'll definitely take that into consideration for future updates. We're glad to hear that UPDF has been a cost-effective and versatile solution for you across multiple devices and platforms.

"Affordable, All-in-One PDF Editor That Exceeds Expectations"
What do you like best about UPDF?

Finally, a PDF editor that does it all without breaking the bank!

I am genuinely impressed with UPDF. It is incredibly versatile, handling everything from editing and annotating to converting files with ease. The interface is modern and super easy to navigate, so I didn't have to spend hours learning how to use it. The best part? It is extremely affordable, especially compared to the big competitors like Adobe. You get premium features for a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a solid PDF tool!

"A complete PDF editor available powered by AI that is not overpriced!"
What do you like best about UPDF?

What I really like about UPDF is that it can offer all features I need from a PDF editor, with AI capabilities and an AI assistant (purchased separately with a cheap annual subscription) so I can not just edit and manage my pdf documents (mainly textbooks) but also analyze them and ask questions based on the pdf as a reference. I use this feature so much but honestly I don't rely on it for getting insights or dig deeper with detailed complex questions, I use it as a smart way to do quick searching in the document. In fact, on a traditional PDF reader/editor when I search for something I have to remember the exact words and if that word is common, it takes so much time to find it; but with UPDF I can now use AI to find precisely the specific parts that I am looking for in a very large pdf document. Also I like the fact that it is simple to setup, it is not laggy and support is always active to solve any issues or bug reports. I had used previously free/open source pdf editors on Windows that can offer many features but they all lack native iOS and Android apps, UPDF offers them! Lastly, there are so many documentations and user guides offered by the team in order to take complete advantage of this nice software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I don't like the fact that I suppose (not sure) that AI models used to analyze pdf files is not very accurate (probably it is a cheap AI model so it can both deliver but be sustainable to maintain for them). as I explained, I don't rely on AI features of UPDF as if it was "ChatGPT or Gemini", but I use it as a way to search my document in a smart way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Marketing UPDF of UPDF

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the AI capabilities and the ease of searching within large PDF documents with UPDF. We're committed to providing a seamless experience and are glad to hear that you find the setup simple and the support team helpful.

"Superb PDF Tool with Insightful AI Feature"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I like UPDF for its AI feature, which is especially valuable for clarifying and confirming my understanding of specific content within a file. It's helpful because I can chat with UPDF about a specific document, and it provides clear indications when it makes inferences or relates information indirectly. Unlike other AI chatbots, it limits unnecessary inferences, making it reliable for academic reading. Also, the setup process of UPDF is very easy and straightforward, and the customer service is prompt and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

Just like other LLMs, the AI is ever changing, and with that, sometimes the answers can vary in length, depth, scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're thrilled to hear that you find our AI feature valuable for clarifying and confirming your understanding of specific content within a file. We're committed to providing reliable and helpful AI tools for academic reading.
