## Reviews

### "The Best PDF editor you can buy." — 5.0/5

> **Bryon** | *September 18, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The speed is really good, but probably just because it's so simple to learn and use. Controls and tools are well laid out, and everything just works.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like an option to have it on more computers; 2 PC/Macs at a time is not enough. I work on Windows and Mac daily and routinely switch between Desktops and Laptops... I would like to have more concurrent use.
> 
> Overall usability and performance. UPDF is vastly superior to Acrobat in every way, not just cost. The interface is clean, simple to use, super fast, and on Mac, in my opinion, just exceptional.

### "The best PDF tool I’ve ever used — seriously." — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *May 15, 2025* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best PDF tool I’ve ever used — seriously.&#10;Finally, a PDF editor that just works. It’s sleek, intuitive, and actually reliable on both desktop and iOS. Every feature feels intentional — from editing to converting and annotating, it’s all fast, smooth, and shockingly pleasant to use. The UI is modern and buttery, and everything loads with zero lag. It’s rare to find software that respects your time and doesn’t glitch or feel bloated. UPDF nails it. Honestly, I wish more apps were built like this. Total game changer.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing\!\!\! The price is a bit higher for students like me but they offer education discount. Super understanding.

### "Decent option, about average" — 3.0/5

> **Brian** | *September 19, 2023* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's an attractive piece of software and has a nice interface. Does a decent job with basic editing.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest issues I've faced are very slow load times and the software signing me out frequently. Both are frustrating.
> 
> I think the software is fine. It's good, not great. Decent, not bad. I've not really found anything that would make me pick it over some other similarly priced ones.

### "User-Friendly PDF Editor with Great File Compatibility" — 5.0/5

> **Setthapol** | *September 14, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cost-effective and offers excellent value for money. The document editing process is simple and user-friendly, with a wide range of tools available to enhance productivity. Printing documents is convenient, with multiple formatting and output options to choose from, making it easy to meet different requirements.
> 
> **Cons**: There is no Thai font support available. When editing Thai-language documents, the fonts may become distorted or automatically change, resulting in formatting issues and an inconsistent appearance of the text, Image some time hard to add and edit because it has no layer.
> 
> Overall, my experience with UPDF has been very positive. It is an excellent tool for basic document editing and supports editing of almost all common file formats. The interface is user-friendly, making it easy to learn and use, even for beginners. It provides the essential features needed for everyday document management in a simple and efficient way.

### "Good alternative product and cheap priced across desktop and mobile - Has potential\!" — 4.0/5

> **Ling** | *July 6, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a lot of functionality which acrobat editor can do. What I like most is that a single license is allowed to be used in both desktop and mobile. I hope this doesn't change because if it does, I might just move away from this tool.
> 
> **Cons**: The OCR is a little weak. However the new potential of AI search might be good. Although I am not really happy with the subscription price. I hope eventually the pricing model of the AI can be broken down into different functionality. I honestly don't need all the AI functionality, only the search or summary function. There are other AI tools out there to do the same and more. Advice to UPDF is to focus on what it do best and target the right audience\! The PDF to excel function is average as well. Other tools like PDF Extra can do a good job as well. An improvement on it might just change my mind\!
> 
> Above average as compared to the different tools I used. Would love to see improvement on the existing functionality.
