UPDF Reviews & Product Details

I really like how clean and easy the interface is—it doesn’t feel overwhelming like some other PDF editors. Even if you’re new to editing PDFs, it’s pretty quick to figure out where everything is and how to get started.

It also works across all my devices. I can use it on Windows, Mac, my iPhone, and even Android, which means I can start editing on my laptop and then pick it up later on my phone without any hassle. That flexibility is super handy.

The AI feature is genuinely useful, too. I was skeptical at first, but the AI assistant can summarize long documents, translate text, and explain more complex sections. It saves me a lot of time when I’m studying or dealing with big reports for work.

Editing PDFs feels a lot like using Word. I can change text, move images, fix typos, and tweak fonts without needing the original file, which I really appreciate since I don’t always have the source document.

I have been using the AI assistant for 2 years as a master student. It's helpful for my literature review every day. And there is student price for it. I would definitely recommend it to peers and heavy-profile readers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d love to see built-in cloud storage integration, such as the ability to connect directly to Google Drive or Dropbox.

The OCR could also be improved for handwritten notes or low-quality scans—right now it isn’t always accurate.

Real-time collaboration (similar to Google Docs) would be amazing, especially for team projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that UPDF gives me the option to edit any PDF in the best possible way. Furthermore, it is much better, more stable, and faster than Foxit. The initial setup was also smooth and very easy, even for someone like me who already has good knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I also use UPDF on the iPad, it could be more adaptive for writing like a digital notebook with the pen, I really miss that. Today I use UPDF for everything related to PDF, but when I go to the iPad I still have to subscribe to another platform, because there the handwriting with the pen is much better, so when going to the iPad, it should be more like a notebook, allowing writing with the pen in a more subtle way, and of course being able to edit the same PDF, and having the folders more separated, in a more beautiful way to store in the cloud.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

I’m using UPDF to replace my expensive Adobe subscription. A lot of what Adobe offers feels like overkill for what I actually need the software for. UPDF gives me everything I used in Acrobat, and it may even do everything Acrobat does—I just don’t have much use for some of the more advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found any downsides to UPDF. It has performed every task I've needed it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
