Affordable and Versatile PDF Editing for Educators **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Oscar M. | Intern, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2025 **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. **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. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** I appreciate that I could make a one-time purchase rather than having to pay for a subscription just to access basic PDF editing features. This has made it easy for me to quickly edit documents when needed and to sign them using my own signature. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that UPDF has been a valuable tool for your document editing needs as an educator. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to know that our product has been convenient and useful for you. ### 2. A complete PDF editor available powered by AI that is not overpriced! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ahmed F. | Addetto controllo qualità , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2025 **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. **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. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is cheaper than many competitors but offers all features for annotating and editing and managing pdf files; also it has AI features that I use frequently (as a reference so i don't rely heavily on them for accuracy) to quickly chat and summarize certain parts of the pdf and also translate them. it comes handy to me when I study and browse some documents with a "heavy" and advanced technical language for me so instead of jumping between online translators I can finally rely on a built-in AI powered translator in UPDF. Also it offers native iOS (iPadOs especially) and Android versions. So it has everything I was looking for as a Student and lifelong learner. **Official Response from Marketing 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. ### 3. Highly Functional, Needs Some UI Improvements **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Starr C L. **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** I really appreciate the ability to edit PDFs, fill in forms, and the unique color themes UPDF offers. It's easy to edit, and the tutorials are easy to understand, which helps a lot. The low price aspect is a big plus for me too. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** With other PDF programs, I used to be able to narrow in on moving boxes on the screen with the editing tools by holding down Ctrl + shift and arrow keys for navigation. This function doesn't work anymore, and it is difficult to position graphics on the page in precise areas I need them in. I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I also used to know which page tab I was working on easily at the top of the screen in other PDF programs. In this program, I often get confused which tab I have open on the screen viewer. I have to click on other tabs to figure it out at times. It might be better to have the tab more clearly highlighted or separated from the other tabs where it's easier to see on screen. I could see if it's a color theme issue, but then I would lose the colors I like best and defeat the purpose of having color themes to choose from. I think the tint of the active window should be darker than the other tabs. Learning the software was a little different than normal and took some time to play around with it before I got used to it. I am pretty savvy on the computer too so I'm not sure if other less experienced users would find it easy to use this quickly. My advice would be to spend some time on tutorials if you have it. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** UPDF allows me to remove unwanted text and create new, creative PDF versions. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > Thank you for your detailed feedback! We appreciate your positive comments about the editing capabilities, tutorials, and affordable pricing. We understand your concerns about the UI and navigation issues. We will take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements. ### 4. A great alternative to Adobe **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Catherine H. | Health and Safety Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** We were looking for a cost effective change from using Adobe DC and this really does everything we need it to at a very reasonable annual cost for the company. The member management portal is great for issuing licences and keeping tabs on what access rights each user has. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** Some of our users use UPDF to open PDF drawings and one comment was that Adobe was easier to open PDFs for measurements and UPDF does not do this easily. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** Editing and making PDFs into words and excel documents **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that you find UPDF to be a cost-effective alternative to Adobe DC. Our member management portal is designed to make licensing and access rights management easy for companies. ### 5. Exceptional Text Editing and Review with Powerful OCR **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2026 **What do you like best about UPDF?** Very effective at editing and reviewing texts, including the OCR ability and the ease of highlighting and adding notes. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** It would be helpful if there were an option to view at least two PDFs simultaneously, as well as a feature to create 'accessible' PDFs. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** For my research, I need to highlight and review text, in addition to giving feedback to my students. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're thrilled to hear that you find our text editing and OCR features effective and easy to use! ### 6. Fast and cross-platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Writing and Editing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** I really enjoyed the agility of the UPDF opening, editing and publishing pdfs in my Macbook. Besides that, it gives me flexibility to adopt in other devices that aren't from apple, and it performs very well. I already used Acrobat and I think UPDF is better. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** Has some problems saving edited pdfs in iCloud, creating a duplicated file. I think the scanner in mobile could be improved to save direct in the directories of the mobile, instead of inside the UPDF. It spend some time making this two steps (saving inside the UPDF and after in my iCloud). **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** I study a lot and taking notes directly in pdf is helping me to achieve better results in my sessions, organizing ideas that drives from the reading. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the agility and flexibility of UPDF on your Macbook and other devices. We appreciate your feedback on the issues with saving edited PDFs in iCloud and the mobile scanner, and we will work to improve these features in future updates. ### 7. Amazing value for money and a great replacement of Adobe Acrobat Pro **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** I came from using Adobe Acrobat Pro looking for a cheaper alternative that still does everything I wanted it to. I was very happy to find UPDF. It was the cheapest and one of the best alternatives. The trial period gave me the opportunity to test all the features and the reviews confirmed it was a good alternative. Where Adobe was bulky, slow, and took a while to learn - moving to UPDF was easy and straight forward. I even prefer the interface. Adobe used to crash on me quite often whereas UPDF has not crashed on me at all. The crop feature is straight forward and easy. I bought the perpetual licence because it was affordable, I can have it on multiple devices, and it includes upgrades. Other perpetual licence PDF apps did not give access on multiple devices or provide upgrades. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** I think the OCR may have been a bit better on Adobe. You can only highlight recognised text. There is a work around where you can use an opaque pencil feature as a highlighter but it's not quite as good. You can't seem to change the width and height of multiple form fields at once when they are selected. You have to edit one at a time and cannot specify how far away you want them from the edges. Would be good if it had a tick shape that you can add to a PDF without having to prepare a form. Also, it is difficult to add an image on top of an image especially when the original image takes up the entire page. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** UPDF has provided me with a PDF editor that is affordable and can replace Adobe Acrobat Pro. It is saving my company money and time because UPDF doesn't crash half the time like Adobe was. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying UPDF and finding it to be a great alternative to Adobe Acrobat Pro. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to know that UPDF is saving you time and money. ### 8. Easy-to-use Lifetime Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Louis B. | Game/Dungeon Master, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** UPDF is a powerful tool that easily helps you create and edit PDFs. Its AI feature is exceptionally helpful for both work-related and personal tasks and has saved me countless hours of research and study time. The best part is that you can choose between a lifetime license for the current major version or a monthly or annual subscription for current and future major versions. I appreciate the choice a great deal and feel it's worth mentioning in any review! **What do you dislike about UPDF?** The only real downside I've experienced is that UPDF doesn't currently support JavaScript and/or Markdown functionality in certain advanced documents. As someone who also uses this product as a TTRPG player, this makes it difficult to take advantage of the advanced features some of my 3rd party character sheets have. I have submitted the suggestion, though, and hope to see support implemented in a future update. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** Primarily I was looking for an advanced PDF editing suite that I could purchase for a one-time cost. UPDF has a fantastic option for a lifetime license of its full suite of features except for the AI assistant. While the assistant is subscription-only, the cost is still much more affordable than with other major competitors such as Adobe. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're thrilled to hear that UPDF has been a powerful and time-saving tool for you, both professionally and personally. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to offer the flexibility of a lifetime license or subscription options. ### 9. UPDF, challenger to Adobe Acrobat DC or a second-hand PDF editor? **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** SERGE P. | Enseignant et formateur, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2025 **What do you like best about UPDF?** You will find on YouTube, for example, many videos discussing this software. However, they are generally created by people who are not in prepress, who have only a basic use of Acrobat, and who are amazed that they can edit PDFs ;-) My perspective will therefore be a bit different; it will reflect my expectations regarding a replacement for Acrobat DC. Is UPDF a direct challenger to Adobe Acrobat DC? First and foremost, it is an excellent PDF viewer. It allows for editing, converting, modifying PDFs, making comments, adding a signature to files, or setting a password… Since it has this competitor, it makes sense that it does everything Acrobat DC does, but better, more easily, and more quickly; this is true, but for everyday use. It is clearly better than Adobe's software, which has recently upset its users by imposing almost a new interface that has convinced no one. For example, modifying a PDF is instantaneous, efficient, simple… not completely cumbersome as we are used to. You can feel that this application benefits from a recent creation, that the code behind it does not include generations of successive versions, bugs, etc., like Acrobat DC; this translates into unparalleled efficiency, combined with a current and effective interface. This software is simple, comprehensive, lightweight (135 MB), multiplatform (MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS) with the possibility of storing documents online (10 GB), with an interface that leaves its competitors far behind (hem, not difficult). The subscription or lifetime purchase allows it to be used on 4 platforms simultaneously; the free version leaves small watermarks on the pages with the UPDF logo and allows limited AI use to 2 per day, provided you register on the UPDF platform. On this online platform, AI operations are also permitted (an interesting detail, your AI searches, summaries, and translations will be permanently available there). Here is a link to the complete list of UPDF capabilities. And on this page, a set of comparisons with its competitors. Its AI feature (accessible via a ruler, like that of Adobe Photoshop) allows summarizing, translating a PDF or a selection into many languages. I tested the OCR and the AI summarization; the OCR is exceptional compared to Acrobat DC. The summary seemed to me to be on par with all its competitors. To be clear, the OCR is worth, for me, the purchase of the software. I did a comparison test with Acrobat DC, and it is incomparable on a poorly readable text… the AI makes the difference. The AI also allows explaining a word or a phrase - which is less groundbreaking, except for more educational use. It seems that students are a target audience for UPDF. For example, it allows including mind maps. For the record, the text summarization AI also exists in Adobe Acrobat DC, as a paid add-on. Purchasing the software with a lifetime license is the most interesting option: around sixty euros depending on frequent promotions from promotional articles, otherwise €80. The AI module is €70/year. UPDF is often considered one of the best software for using, processing, and modifying PDF files for several reasons: 1. Intuitive Interface: UPDF offers a simple and well-organized user interface, making PDF editing accessible even to users without specific technical skills1. 2. Comprehensive Features: It allows modifying text, images, links, and graphic objects in PDF documents. You can also add annotations, fill out forms, and convert PDF files into various formats like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, and HTML2. 3. Multiplatform Support: UPDF is available on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, providing a seamless experience across all your devices1. 4. OCR Technology: It supports optical character recognition (OCR) in 38 languages, allowing scanned documents to be converted into editable files2. 5. Security and Protection: UPDF offers options to protect your PDF documents with passwords, add watermarks, and digital signatures2. 6. Optimization and Compression: It allows compressing PDF files to reduce their size without compromising quality2. 7. AI-Powered Features: UPDF uses artificial intelligence to summarize, translate, and even interact with your PDFs, making your work faster and more efficient1. 8. Responsive Support: Customer service is available 24/6, with continuous improvements and regular updates1. In summary, UPDF stands out for its ease of use, advanced features, and multiplatform support, making it an ideal choice for anyone who regularly works with PDF files. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** If I push the comparison with DC as planned, the very powerful features of the latter, such as automatic file management through automation (action assistant), Javascript integration, certified digital signatures, and all the prepress aspects, as well as bookmarks… are not present. This would be a "no go" for a certain category of users, of course. Nevertheless, it has become my default application for opening PDFs, and for 90% of my activities concerning PDFs, it will be sufficient. And Foxit for example did not make me want to change software, as UPDF did! **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplicity **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying UPDF and finding it to be a great alternative to Adobe Acrobat DC. We appreciate your detailed feedback on the features and benefits of UPDF, including its intuitive interface, comprehensive features, multiplatform support, OCR technology, security options, AI-powered features, and responsive customer service.
