Cost-Effective with Simultaneous Use
UPDF allows you to use the license on two desktops and mobile devices simultaneously. Nitro, however, restricts usage to two devices without simultaneous access.
UPDF Pro
A single license on 2 desktops and 2 mobiles simultaneously
Nitro Pro
One license for two devices, not simultaneously
More Platforms, One License
UPDF has Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS versions, allowing one license to be used across all platforms. Nitro, however, does not offer an Android version, limiting its compatibility to only desktop and iOS devices.
AI Integrated into PDF Editor
Unlike Nitro, which only offers online AI features, UPDF integrates AI into its desktop and mobile PDF editors, boosting work efficiency when editing PDF files.
What Customers Like UPDF?
Doc Conversion Tools Better than Nitro
“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.”
Impressed with the Many Options and Ease of Use
“I've been using UPDF for a few months and I'm impressed with the many options and possibilities and ease of use. Many of the functions are very useful. I especially like the possibility of comparing two documents. I am very satisfied with the result of the comparison (changed text, deleted or added text nicely highlighted in color). So, the text comparison is superior, but the only thing I miss is the graphical comparison (for example, the changed graphic areas will be surrounded by lines/frames.”
UPDF Keeps Getting Better and Better
“Adobe seemed to be the "king" of PDF but I didn't want to pay a monthly fee to edit and annotate PDF documents so I searched for options. I tried a few "freemium" products and the good ones moved to subscription so another search was on. Then, UPDF showed up in my search and I decided to give it a go. And, I'm glad I did...it just keeps getting better and better with great annotation and markup tools, which is what I need for my work. The addition of redaction just added even more value. It's a great product and I'm glad I have it in my toolbelt!”
Handling Large Annotations Far Better than Adobe
“UPDF has been a game-changer for me when it comes to annotating PDF site plans on the go. The app works smoothly on my iPad, handling large annotations far better than Adobe. I love the cloud feature that allows me to transition between devices seamlessly. The interface is simple, fast, and easy to use, making it a great tool for professionals. My only wish is for automatic saving when editing PDFs on my tablet. Overall, highly recommended and I’m excited to upgrade to the paid version!”
Nice tool to Edit PDF Books
“I bought UPDF for my wife, who edits books for her work. I made stamps for the most common correction symbols on the iPad and imported them into UPDF. It works perfectly. I'm happy with this purchase!”
Single License Used in Both Desktop and Mobile
“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.”
