UPDF Reviews & Product Details

At work I'm using an Apple Macbook and whenever need to use my windows laptop at home and needing to work with pdf files, the lack of a simple, but capable pdf viewer, like Preview on Mac, has been sorely missed. I'm happy to finally find UPDF, likes: fast, integrates with windows right click menus, UI looks very decent, easy to use. It is also available on android, now i have replaced the default pdf viewer to UPDF on both my phone and tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only two minor bits:

lack of third-party cloud integration apart from Dropbox, which I don't use. Not interested in UPDF's own cloud storage but would prefer to have OneDrive integration.

OCR, it needs to be even simpler to use, I don't want to go through the hoops of selecting OCR function, it should just work by simply opening a pdf file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Straightforward installation and setup which had no struggle with. I love it for easier selection, inserting, splitting split documents. Incredible to easily combine multiple PDF documents as a team for our effective projects documents. Impressive with signing and sending documents to clients directly from the software. Simple and solid interface for previewing of large PDF tutorials for efficient learning. OCR Support gives me goosebumps with scanning of my receipts to submit to finance to get my response reimbursements on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extraordinary for it's lightness to handle large PDF files with seamless conversion and no any day have encountered any problem with it.

Price friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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!

Nothing so far as i habent found any dissdvantages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I like how UPDF is fairly simple to use and quick. It's reliable and previews things well. I find the OCR feature really useful, especially because I often look at research papers and books that aren't digitized. Being able to search through these documents with the OCR is a big help for me. The word recognition is really good, which is great for my research work. Also, the initial setup was pretty easy.

I think the annotation side of things could be better. It could be more intuitive in how to use it. Some of the shortcuts aren't intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
