UPDF Reviews 689

Nach vielem Hin und Her — und viel Ausprobieren — mit anderen Programmen bin ich mit UPDFpro endlich im "Hafen" der bestmöglichen Lösung gelandet. Alles was man benötigt ist vorhanden … und selbst noch Möglichkeiten die man (noch) nicht benötigt. Schöne Zukunftsaussichten also ;—) Sehr sehr übersichtlich und eine sehr komfortable benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche. — Und nicht zuletzt ein ausgesprochen und im Netz selten anzutreffender atmoshärisch angenehmer Ton und ein freundlicher schneller Service/ support bei Unklarkeiten. Merci bien!

I came across UPDF by chance and found the product to be excellent, so I decided to purchase an annual subscription.
However, I was charged for an "AI Assistant" subscription that I did not intend to purchase, which has left me feeling very frustrated and disappointed.
While I am more than willing to pay a fair price for a product I value, the payment process seemed misleading and confusing.
Just before writing this review, I sent a formal complaint via email. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will consider taking further action to address this issue.

Good app (not as easy to use as Adobe but much cheaper)

Great great support !

Really the best PDF viewer out there.
Excellent value for money. Do not want to use any other PDF tool in my life.

Been researching alternatives to Acrobat Pro and this one rose to the top. I've been using it for a couple weeks and here's some thoughts:

Positives:
- Reasonably priced and still has a perpetual option whereas almost all alternatives require a subscription (a huge positive).
- User interface is generally easy to use and modern.
- Has most of the features I'm looking for in a pdf app (organize, redact, forms, ocr, create from scanner, combine multiple pdfs).

Room for improvement:
- The auto form field recognition is not as good as Acrobat's and does not identify many field areas that Acrobat does.
- The "Create multiple copies" in the prepare form is buggy in Windows (but works correctly in Mac). The copy selected fields sometimes gives errors that it cannot be greater than 1 or must be between 2 and 5 (and similar errors). The copy selected fields down actually puts them across and vice versa (but works correctly on Mac).
- The auto font size in forms does not seem to work in Windows (but does on Mac) and the font stays at one size.
- The border color in forms also seemed buggy in Windows (but ok on Mac).
- Does not have an option to insert pages from a scanner like Acrobat Pro has.
- Does not have the "Fill and sign" feature that Acrobat Pro has. I use this a lot for filling out non-fillable (i.e. non-form) pdfs. It's nice to be able to just click on different areas of the pdf and start typing. I suppose UPDF's text comment tool is something similar.
- The cloud storage and AI is not of interest to me but maybe is to others.

Overall a solid effort that just needs a bit of polishing.

Tried several competitors (pdf gear, Highlights to name the best of them in my opinion) and I decided to pay for UPDF because it combined the of strengths of both fore mentioned apps in a very neat UI.

Very glad of my purchase !
There is a little thing that I would have liked though... if I paid the software on a website with prices displayed in Euros and I got debited in USD... with unplanned bank fees... if I had known, I would have used another card. That is the only little thing that I would have to complain about.

This program is great! It makes editing PDF files really easy.

I've been in the tech world since before mainframes were able to provide users with a virtual machine. When PDF's began appearing during the Internet Age I was flummoxed. Why are so many sources using a proprietary convention that costs so much to use for anything other than viewing? That question stuck with me through the years until now. Finally - an affordable solution for manipulating PDF's with the same options as provided by other non-PDF text editors.

UPDF is an easy to use PDF editor. Even if you don't work with PDF's all that often, it's affordability makes it nearly as accessible as open source software. No more needing to export a PDF to MS Word or some other package for editing and then needing to dump back into a PDF. With UPDF, your use of PDF's will definitely increase now that all that hassle and expense is gone.

J'apprécie vraiment UPDF que j'ai découvert en cherchant un outil simple et pas trop cher pour modifier des Pdf et j'ai découvert toutes ce qu'il sait faire dont la conversion en fichier Excel beaucoup plus efficace que beaucoup d'outils que j'ai utilisé auparavant. La traduction très pratique, la compression de pdf... etc.

Très bonne alternative à Adobe et beaucoup moins coûteux. Le menu est clair, accessible et complet. L’accès rapide et l'installation sur différents supports (tablette, Win 11, etc.) est extrêmement facile. Un seul petit regret : il n’y a apparemment pas moyen de changer l’icône du programme et c’est dommage !.

Ottimo programma lo usa per lavoro, consiglio di effettuare abbonamenti alla AI che funziona molto bene.
Gennaio farò l'abbonamento anche alla >I

Wellx what can I say? It does what you have paid for, and it's even cheaper than Adobe. Great software highly recommended!!!

Greetings I hope to add voice pronunciation when translating words in the full version. And I hope to add a feature for freely zooming in and out of the page. Thank you.

تحية طيبة
اتمنى اضافة نطق الصوت عند الترجمة في النسخة الكاملة
واتمنى اضافة ميزة تكبير وتصغير الصفحة بشكل حر

شكرا لكم

I've now been using UPDF Pro perpetual for several months and am only partially satisfied.

As of December 2024, and with respect to my workflow, UPDF Pro has the following shortcomings when compared to Acrobat Pro:

[1] Page dimensions are displayed in points (1pt = 1/72 inch) rather than inch or mm. And: One cannot change this!?
Affected are:
● Crop Tool
● Page Properties (e.g. A4 is displayed as 595.2 x 841.9 rather than 210 mm x 297 mm and letter in 612.0 x 792.0 rather than 8.5 x 11 inches
→ Please improve this!
Note: Not affected is UPDF's measuring tool, which already supports dimensions such as mm and inch.

[2] Importing tif images ignores the image's DPI setting, leading to incorrect page sizes.
→ Please improve this, as its a killer criterion!

[3] The page's default view settings cannot be saved with the document. E.g. two up + facing + fit height.

[4] Acrobat's clear scan feature for scanned pages has no equivalent. While UPDF's OCR is good, if not very good, it cannot quite compete with clear scan.
Note: I do not expect UPDF to come up with something similar.

Other differences less important to me are:
[5] Acrobat’s pdf optimisation features are more sophisticated than UPDFs. Font embedding for example.

[6] Acrobat’s “Print Production” feature seems to have no equivalent.

So far UPDF Pro is the second-best* Acrobat Pro alternative I've tested to date, and I've tested many. The reason for buying UPDF is because I no longer get a ~70% workplace discount on Acrobat Pro, which even with the discount is massively overpriced when compared to UPDF.

*) Second-best together with the more than just notable exception of PDFgear, which is superb and seems to be in a head to head race against UPDF.

O produto de vocês é excelente, mas precisa melhorar a forma de abordar os clientes. Vi outros comentários semelhantes ao que passei. Pensei que o programa fosse gratuito mas pra salvar sem marca d'água precisa pagar. Assinei updf pro, porém de "brinde" veio uma assintente de IA que não pedi, não utilizo e não preciso, de valor absurdo. Ja fiz o cancelamento e gostaria de pedir o reembolso do valor pago. Grato pela atenção.

I've been using UPDF for 3 months.
I love that UPDF is more intuitive and straightforward to use than its much more expensive competition. I gave up on one of the more expensive apps (after 2 years of living with it) and was delighted to find UPDF.
Sure there are small changes I would like to see but nothing is perfect and I have no complaints.
Excellent PDF app!!

Hello,

I attempted to make a purchase on your website because I thought the program in this website offered was a free trial. In Korea, most transactions require additional verification even after entering card details, so I assumed clicking the payment button would not immediately result in a charge. However, the payment was processed automatically, which caught me by surprise.

I immediately looked for a way to request a refund but couldn’t find any clear instructions, so I canceled the subscription first. I have not used the service at all since the accidental subscription. I also noticed a “30-day money-back guarantee” on your website, but I couldn’t find where to request a refund. That promise was one of the reasons I felt comfortable proceeding with the purchase.

I am currently a student, and since it is university application season, I am in desperate need of funds. I kindly and sincerely ask for your assistance in processing this refund. Thank you so much in advance.

Credo che Updf sia uno strumento utilissimo e ben fatto, mi ha cambiato la vita nel riassumere e tradurre pdf lunghi ed in altre lingue che non conosco, si potevo farlo in altro modo, ma con enorme dispendio di tempo.

Mir wurde innerhalb 2 Tagen geholfen. Das Problem konnte zur Zufriedenheit gelöst werden. Mit dem Programm bin ich weiterhin zufrieden.
Weiter so.
