"A PDF Software that I can rely"
What do you like best about UPDF?

The UPDF offers the same features as Adobe and more thanks to its AI feature. But the biggest thing that I like is that the App offers a lifetime subscription plan which is affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

The only thing I dislike is the lifetime device allowance. Currently, 2 Laptops/Desktops, 2 Tab/Mobile and 2 Web. Some people has more laptops and desktops than using the web interface.

Again this is just my opinion. You are running a business and you want to make a profit. That is a-okay in my books Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"UPDF: Almost As Powerful As Acrobat, At A Lower Cost"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I greatly appreciate the pleasant interface of UPDF, which makes handling PDF files both intuitive and efficient. This interface, combined with the complete set of features, allows me to accomplish tasks such as reading, editing, filling, and converting PDFs with ease, almost as effectively as what Adobe Acrobat offers but at a significantly lower cost. The experience is smooth, making the use of UPDF not only convenient for working from home but also professional. Moreover, file consultation is quick and efficient, which enhances my productivity. The initial installation process was also very easy, allowing me to start using the software quickly without hassle. In summary, UPDF offers excellent value for money with features that rival more expensive solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I find that the form-filling feature is insufficient compared to Adobe Acrobat. For example, UPDF does not correctly detect certain numeric fields like postal codes. Additionally, PDF compression could be improved to provide better results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good PDF Editor, Needs a More Intuitive Interface"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I appreciate UPDF for being reasonably lightweight. The clarity in the visual presentation of documents is also a standout feature for me, providing a clear and crisp display that enhances readability. It's particularly beneficial that UPDF opens quickly, saving me time and allowing immediate access to my documents without unnecessary delay. These elements collectively contribute to a smooth and effective user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I find the interface confusing. Despite using a lot of different software and even teaching software as an IT trainer, I often struggle to find the tools I need in UPDF. The layout is not intuitive, and there's no clear menu structure or idea of where to look for the tools. This results in having to search through every corner of the screen to find what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost-Effective PDF Solution with Easy Setup"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I appreciate how UPDF effectively addresses the problem of high cost associated with other famous PDF programs, offering a more affordable alternative for my daily job. UPDF is invaluable for my regular work tasks which include modifying PDFs and other related uses. I find it really beneficial for reading PDFs and occasionally signing documents, as well as merging files between different models. The setup of UPDF was very easy and straightforward, causing no issues for my team when we switched from another product, specifically Acrobat Reader. Overall, the UPDF provides features that I frequently use and appreciate for both their functionality and cost-effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I find that the performance of UPDF can be inconsistent. When using it at the office, it tends to be slower compared to when I use it at home. This discrepancy in speed, particularly noticeable when opening PDF files from Outlook, is quite puzzling and suggests that improvements in speed and performance are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and much more affordable than other PDF tools"
What do you like best about UPDF?

UPDF is super easy to use and I don't feel like it's complicated or overwhelming like other PDF software. I can open a PDF and start editing right a way, which saves me time from having to subscribe to a service before I can edit a document. I also found the price very readable and worth every penny. I use UPDF pretty regularly as I prefer to deal in PDF files than Word documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

I believe the OCR functionality and the building of forms could be a bit more flexible, but for an amateur the features suffice. For someone more advanced, may feel held back until new features are introduced in those subject areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"UPDF BROUGHT MY PDF APP SEARCH TO AN ABRUPT END!"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I have used many different pdf management apps and websites, over the years, but nothing truly met my needs – especially after I retired. Retirement, though, doesn’t mean that the need suddenly drops off a cliff – but my need for any of my previous dabblings certainly has! Why? Because UPDF has met every single need I have ever had for a pdf management app – and more! I seriously wish that I had found this years ago: I know for a fact that UPDF would have saved me hours of faffing about! Resigned to the fact that I would need to go down the subscription route, I started working through all the paid-for options (using free trial periods) that I had shortlisted. When I got to UPDF, I was so impressed that I bought a lifetime subscription the same day that I started using it! It is now the only pdf management tool that I use, and I highly recommend it – and without reservation.

Thank you, Superace, for making my pdf life simpler, and more complete! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

"excellent PDF reader"
What do you like best about UPDF?

I work in a design office and I use UPDF a lot for measuring on plans. The tool is effective and meets my expectations in this area, plus it is convenient for modifying documents, whether to integrate text, images, or even to delete them! I opted for the lifetime plan and I do not regret it. It does about as much as Adobe, if not more in some aspects. I use it daily, it easily replaced Adobe, the implementation was simple and I recommend this software. I have never had any problems with the software, so I do not know the quality of customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

for the measurements, the attachment is missing, which is very practical for taking measurements quickly, and the scale change should be more easily accessible. it would also be nice to be able to have a different scale per tab if needed. the integration of a scanned signature is not as good as Adobe because the white background is not removed, so the integration is less natural.

"Clean, intuitive, and powerful — the best Adobe alternative for the price"
What do you like best about UPDF?

UPDF has a beautiful, clean user interface that makes it easy to navigate even complex PDF tasks. The Create PDF from Scanner feature is one of my favorite tools — it lets me scan multi-page documents and instantly combines them into a single file with just a couple clicks. I also love the Form Field Recognition feature, which can detect and convert scanned forms into fillable fields, saving me tons of time. I use it regularly for annotation, OCR, and form creation across both Mac and iPhone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

The OCR still needs work — it’s functional, but not nearly on the level of Adobe Acrobat yet. Especially when working with more complex or lower-quality scans, the text recognition can miss words or formatting. That said, it’s improving with updates and still very usable for most tasks. Occasionally, I’ve experienced minor slowdowns when working with large documents, but nothing deal-breaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're thrilled to hear that you find UPDF to be a clean, intuitive, and powerful alternative to Adobe. We're constantly working to improve our OCR capabilities and appreciate your feedback on this.

"Very powerful tool at a fair price"
What do you like best about UPDF?

The ease of use and the number of tools are more than enough for 90% of office work, the mobile app is very complete and intuitive, it has gotten me out of trouble on more than one occasion.

The Mac version is super optimized, it feels like it was developed specifically for this operating system.

Fantastic application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about UPDF?

The app on Windows is not as well optimized as on other platforms.

On Mac I can double-click on a word and select all of it automatically, this on Windows does not work, you must select the whole word manually.

For me, who work with the app on all three platforms (Android, Mac and Windows) this latest version is the one I feel has the least optimization, after a few months of use it feels slow and I have found that uninstalling and re-installing solves the agility of the app, but this should not be the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're glad to hear that you find UPDF to be a powerful and versatile tool for your office work. We appreciate your feedback about the Windows version and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
