UPDF is a cross‑platform PDF editor for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android that offers extensive functionality for modifying, annotating, converting, organizing, and securing PDF documents. It includes tools for editing text, images, watermarks, headers, footers, and backgrounds, along with the ability to create and fill forms, manage pages, add signatures, run OCR on scanned files, and compare documents. The AppSumo version is an individual plan with lifetime access, allowing use on up to four devices. OCR supports over 38 languages on compatible systems. The plan includes 2GB cloud storage but excludes AI Assistant features, which require a separate purchase. Lifetime buyers receive upgrades to version 2.0 at no additional cost.
