I was able to purchase as a one off, so I'm not on the hook for an additional monthly subscription cost. It works with large files and has great editing options. The OCR feature is also handy, making scanned documents editable. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** I think uPDF could improve where the Print button is, to make it more prominent so I'm not always searching to do this. They could also add collaboration features, like allowing multiple people to edit a document at the same time. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to edit PDFs, merge or split existing PDFs, and create them, all for a cost that isn't a complete rip off like certain competitors of theirs. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that uPDF has been efficient and user-friendly for you.

Attorney review-Overall works well but could use some improvements. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2024 **What do you like best about UPDF?** The sidebar function button are intuitive and the drag files to open works well with Finder. The optimization tools are good as well. Doc conversion tools better than Nitro. Interface takes almost no time to learn and is more intuitive than Adobe, equal to Nitro Pro. Is not cluttered with features that lawyers don't use. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** Doesn't integrate well with Pacer; flattened files saved with the save as other tool will not upload to pacer. Could use a built in "Exhibit __" stamp that is fillable and automatically includes consecutive ordering. Adobe has that and adding it would be a big plus. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helping me to accumulate and bates label legal production for smaller cases that don't warrant the expense of Relativity. But not a true ediscovery platform. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that you find our sidebar function and drag files to open feature intuitive and effective.

A Budget Friendly PDF Editor With Most Features! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ethan S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2024 **What do you like best about UPDF?** As an operations manager of a busy landscaping company that is trying to move the business into the digital day-to-day operations, the free version of Adobe was not doing what I needed it to. I needed to have the ability to edit, combine, and sign PDF documents but did not want to pay a monthly subscription fee. UPDF had a very reasonable 1-time payment for a lifetime license. All of the features I needed are in the program and the layout makes sense and isn't complicated. **What do you dislike about UPDF?** I do like most things, but the couple of things I would love some improvements on would be to include the highlight option within the editor tab with those tools as well. Lots of times I want to edit what has been typed and highlight at the same time. This requires me to flip back and forth between the tabs and can affect the sizing for things that have already been highlighted and move them out of alignment. I would also love the signature option to allow you to upload a saved copy of your signature, and or have the option to sign your signature from your phone. It is extremely difficult to get a nice signature that looks presentable using your mouse. I did upload my signature as a custom stamp but would love to have it under the signature button. It would also make my life way easier if the stamp designer had a way to combine both the signature and a stamp that has time stamps built into it (Such as the approved stamp) and have those stamps still be able to pull the accurate time and date. **What problems is UPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** I havn't seen anything that needs to be solved but would love to see the improvements made in the future on the things I mentioned in the con area. **Official Response from Marketing UPDF:** > We're glad to hear that UPDF has been able to meet your needs for editing, combining, and signing PDF documents at a reasonable one-time payment. We appreciate your feedback on the highlight and signature options, and we'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements. ## UPDF Discussions - [UPDF: good value, but how do you handle page rearranging and unexpected add-ons?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/updf-good-value-but-how-do-you-handle-page-rearranging-and-unexpected-add-ons) - 1 upvote - [View UPDF pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/updf/reviews?page=5§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-22+16%3A43%3A21+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=331b6911-c1a4-4614-b8a9-3ac3cef2f03a&secure%5Btoken%5D=edbb78ce3b94c0410a9be2fceff86169e8344e2687309515a2f04a7041818f79&format=llm_user) ## UPDF Integrations - [Affinity Designer](https://www.g2.com/products/affinity-designer/reviews) - [Affinity Photo](https://www.g2.com/products/affinity-photo/reviews) - [Affinity Publisher](https://www.g2.com/products/affinity-publisher/reviews) - [Apple iOS](https://www.g2.com/products/apple-ios/reviews) - [ChatGPT](https://www.g2.com/products/chatgpt/reviews) - [Foxit PDF Reader](https://www.g2.com/products/foxit-pdf-reader/reviews) - [Grok 4 - Next-Generation AI Model by xAI](https://www.g2.com/products/grok-4-next-generation-ai-model-by-xai/reviews) - [macOS Sierra](https://www.g2.com/products/apple-macos-sierra/reviews) - [Microsoft 365](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft365/reviews) - [Microsoft Excel](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-excel/reviews) - [Microsoft Word](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-word/reviews) - [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) - [UPDF](https://www.g2.com/products/updf/reviews) ## UPDF Features **Organization** - Protect - Document Management - Document Scanning - Editing History **Design** - Graphics - Templates - Themes **Editing** - Size - Edit Fields - New PDF - Field Functions - Annotate **Collaboration** - Multi-User Collaboration - Real-Time Communication **File Types** - Export - Import - Web Publishing **Operating System** - PC Operating System - Mac Operating System - Linux Operating System **Edit & Revise** - Revision History - Suggestion Mode - Document Editor **Integrate & Embed** - Calendar - Website - Applications **Operating System** - PC Operating System - Mac Operating System - Linux Operating System **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-Speech - AI Image-to-Text **Agentic AI - Document Creation** - Proactive Assistance ## Top UPDF Alternatives - [Wondershare PDFelement](https://www.g2.com/products/wondershare-wondershare-pdfelement/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,028 reviews) - [Foxit PDF Editor](https://www.g2.com/products/foxit-pdf-editor/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (3,445 reviews) - [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.g2.com/products/adobe-acrobat/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (4,644 reviews)
