J'utilise beaucoup de fichiers .pdf et c'est la meilleure application que j'ai jamais utilisée. Elle est rapide, a une interface épurée et une abondance de fonctionnalités. Chaque fois que j'ai besoin de faire quelque chose, la fonctionnalité est là. L'organisation des pages est excellente. Et les capacités d'édition fournissent toujours ce dont j'ai besoin. Le guide de l'utilisateur et l'aide semblent toujours avoir ce dont j'ai besoin. Je l'utilise tous les jours.

J'utilise cette application pour lire ma lecture, j'adore la fonction d'IA. J'ai comparé mes propres notes et les notes générées par cette application ; elles étaient similaires, et les notes générées par l'application étaient plus concrètes.

You will find on YouTube, for example, many videos discussing this software. However, they are generally created by people who are not in prepress, who have only a basic use of Acrobat, and who are amazed that they can edit PDFs ;-) My perspective will therefore be a bit different; it will reflect my expectations regarding a replacement for Acrobat DC. Is UPDF a direct challenger to Adobe Acrobat DC? First and foremost, it is an excellent PDF viewer. It allows for editing, converting, modifying PDFs, making comments, adding a signature to files, or setting a password… Since it has this competitor, it makes sense that it does everything Acrobat DC does, but better, more easily, and more quickly; this is true, but for everyday use. It is clearly better than Adobe's software, which has recently upset its users by imposing almost a new interface that has convinced no one. For example, modifying a PDF is instantaneous, efficient, simple… not completely cumbersome as we are used to. You can feel that this application benefits from a recent creation, that the code behind it does not include generations of successive versions, bugs, etc., like Acrobat DC; this translates into unparalleled efficiency, combined with a current and effective interface. This software is simple, comprehensive, lightweight (135 MB), multiplatform (MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS) with the possibility of storing documents online (10 GB), with an interface that leaves its competitors far behind (hem, not difficult). The subscription or lifetime purchase allows it to be used on 4 platforms simultaneously; the free version leaves small watermarks on the pages with the UPDF logo and allows limited AI use to 2 per day, provided you register on the UPDF platform. On this online platform, AI operations are also permitted (an interesting detail, your AI searches, summaries, and translations will be permanently available there). Here is a link to the complete list of UPDF capabilities. And on this page, a set of comparisons with its competitors. Its AI feature (accessible via a ruler, like that of Adobe Photoshop) allows summarizing, translating a PDF or a selection into many languages. I tested the OCR and the AI summarization; the OCR is exceptional compared to Acrobat DC. The summary seemed to me to be on par with all its competitors. To be clear, the OCR is worth, for me, the purchase of the software. I did a comparison test with Acrobat DC, and it is incomparable on a poorly readable text… the AI makes the difference. The AI also allows explaining a word or a phrase - which is less groundbreaking, except for more educational use. It seems that students are a target audience for UPDF. For example, it allows including mind maps. For the record, the text summarization AI also exists in Adobe Acrobat DC, as a paid add-on. Purchasing the software with a lifetime license is the most interesting option: around sixty euros depending on frequent promotions from promotional articles, otherwise €80. The AI module is €70/year. UPDF is often considered one of the best software for using, processing, and modifying PDF files for several reasons: 1.
