This Powerful PDF Editor Is The Perfect Alternative to Adobe! | UPDF

hey what's up guys welcome back to another video Alex here and today I have a really exciting one because if you guys use PDFs whether you're doing it for personal reasons professional reasons or maybe even for school work I have an amazing app that you guys absolutely need to check out because it takes all of the grunt work out of working with PDFs which are notoriously known for being very difficult to work with especially if you need to edit them work with images or convert them between different file types and the tool I'm talking about is coming from our video sponsor of the day updf and what I love about this tool is it was clearly built with the user in mind because it is very easy to use the user experience is amazing and it has all of the tools that you're going to need when working with PDFs and the best part is we're going to break the ice right away and talk about price because it costs only two and a half dollars a month to use it and to put things into perspective for you one of the most popular editors out there is Adobe Acrobat but it costs 25 a month and on top of that acrobat only works with Windows systems whereas updf will work with MacBooks Windows Android and iOS that is a big big plus to updf so let me give you a demo of what updf can do and show you exactly what we're looking at here alright guys so here we go once you got updf installed on your computer to get started just go to open file look for a PDF document on your computer and open it up and you can see we are now greeted with the updf interface right here now right now we are in the reader tab up here but all the magic happens in this comment section so if we go to this comment tab we now have all of our editor tools up here at the top and I'm going to take you through all of these and show you exactly what you can do now the first one is we can add a sticky note so if we tap onto here you can see we get a few different color options or we can tap on here we get a color wheel and we can choose whatever color we want now I'm just going to stick with yellow and I'm going to put a sticky note right here and then you can just add a note in here so maybe you want to come back here and maybe say you know revise this section and just set yourself a reminder when you come back to this PDF F that you need to do some more work maybe on this section of the PDF then moving on I'm just going to zoom in a little bit so we can get a little closer to the text but the next thing in here we can do is highlight our text so if we tap onto here also we can choose a bunch of different colors so we can pick yellow and now we can highlight certain passages of our PDF so this is really great because you can bring attention to something by highlighting it we also can strike through text so let's just pick red and you can see maybe we want to strike out this section we can do that just like that we can also underline things so let's go with this green color and we can underline something maybe that's important to bring attention to it and then of course we also have this squiggly line option so we can make a squiggly underline like that moving on we can add a text comment so maybe we want to select a color in here we can select a font and the font size and then we can just put a text box anywhere in our document and just start writing and write whatever message that we want now another feature in here that I really like is sometimes PDF files don't have a text box for you to fill out your information but you can add your your own text box so you can just tap onto here and then put this box anywhere so let's say we'll put it here in country and you can just type what country you're in so if the PDF that you were provided doesn't have a text box you can create your own and fill it out with the information you need and the next thing in here that we can do is create a text call out and what this will do is create an arrow pointing to something and give us a text box so if you need to send this PDF to somebody you can clearly tell them that they need to maybe put your name here and then we'll put the arrow to that and then they will know exactly what they need to do of course next we also have the pencil in here so we can just kind of freehand draw we can make boxes we can make stars we can write things just by hand we also have the Eraser so we can erase certain parts of that pencil and then next we also have these shapes here so if you need to make a square a circle or even an arrow pointing to something again super easy to do that everything is just in here very simple to figure out and use now the next part in here is you can actually add stickers to your PDF so if you want to spice it up make it look really nice nice or fun or maybe you're doing a school project and you want to you know add some kind of stickers you can add so much stuff into here and what I really like about this is these are all PNG uh stickers so you don't need to go out on Google and search for PDF uh PNG files do you have numbers in here you can just add everything you need without having to go to Google searching for PNG files and downloading them to your computer and then having to delete them later these are all built in natively into updf really really useful now the next tool in here is also really useful I love that they built this into updf so what you can do is add stamps so if somebody something needs to be revised reviewed approved or if something is confidential you can put stamps onto your PDF so let's say maybe something needs to be reviewed you can take the stamp and then put it somewhere in your PDF like that and again you can see that it will timestamp it with the date and the time and your name and will ask you or whoever else to review this section of the PDF or maybe you need to bring someone's attention to a certain section or they need to sign somewhere you can just add sticker that says you know sign here and then whoever you send this PDF off to they will know exactly what they need to do and of course the thing you're going to be doing most often with PDFs is signing them so you can go up here and add your signature you can see I already added mine you can resize it and move it around to wherever you need and then you can go into here and create new signatures you can use your keyboard mouse or trackpad to create a signature and you can see you can just squiggle something in here tap create and then it's going to be here in your drop down so so simple so easy to use and you can just go ahead and add your signature wherever you need but now let's say you want to change some of the actual wording within a PDF document well how would you do that well if we go back to this left section here we can go to the edit Tab and now we have a few different options up here we have text so if we tap onto here what we can do is now start selecting certain parts of the PDF and we can completely omit certain parts we can move things around we can change the wording so maybe we want to change you know certified to uh business we can do that and you can see that we can then resize this to fix the formatting we can also add images into our PDF so we can tap anywhere on our PDF I have a picture over here of a Ford Mustang I'll just stick this in here for fun and of course we can always go ahead and resize this and put this directly into our PDF and we can also add links so if you need to maybe link to a website like a YouTube video or maybe you need to Source a Wikipedia page or some kind of study or a Blog you can easily do that just type link to web and type your url right there or you can even link to different pages within your PDF so definitely a really useful function if you need to use that right there but next moving on what we can also do is organize pages so if you're working with a large PDF with lots of different pages you can easily move pages around reorganize things you can replace Pages you can extract things you can rotate them and you can delete them or insert different pages now there's one more thing that I want to show you in here that's really powerful when we're in the reader tab we're not going to apply these changes when we're in the reader tab comments tab or edit tab you'll see on the right we have a few more options right here so we have a search feature so if you want to search for certain words you can do that but right here we have something called recognize text using OCR and here's what it can do so you can see I have a Wikipedia page here open of Elon Musk so I'm going to take a screenshot of this now this is a screenshot it's not a PDF so what we need to do is we need to go to our desktop once this screenshot appears in here we're going to right click on it we're going to go to Quick actions we're going to create a PDF out of it then we're going to go back to our PDF updf editor here we're going to open a new tab open the file we're going to look for that PDF we just created there it is right there we're going to open it up and now you can see that we have our screenshot in here now this is a PDF file but it is not a machine readable PDF because we just took a screenshot so you can see if we go to edit PDF we can't actually edit any of the text and here's the power of what updf offers if we go to this OCR section right here we can tap searchable PDF and we're going to click perform OCR then we're going to save the output of this somewhere on our computer and what updf will do is transform this to readable and editable text and now you can see when we go to edit we can actually start editing everything in this screenshot that we took so if we want to change Elon musk's middle name to Rocket Man we can do that we can change entire sections we can omit things we can move things around and we even have all of the editing tools at our disposal at our disposal right here so we can start highlighting things we can start underlining things we can add stickers we can do whatever we want we can add stamps so we turned this screenshot into an editable PDF f it is really powerful now the last thing in here I want to show you guys that updf includes is the ability to export the PDF into all sorts of different file types this is so important because it depends if you're sharing this uh PDF with somebody on a Windows machine or on a Mac machine whether they have uh you know Microsoft Office on their computer or they don't or maybe you just want to export it as an image or an XML file you can see you have all of these options this is really powerful I haven't seen many PDF editors out there offer this many file extensions to export your PDF ad so this is a huge Plus for uh updf right here that they bake this again right in to their applications I'm really really impressed Again by what they offer for the price and speaking of price if we go back to their website and we go to pricing you can see in here that essentially again this cost just two and a half dollars per month which is already an amazing price but if you decide that you love this PDF editor which I'm sure you will and you decide that you want to keep it for life and you don't want to pay a month Fifi they actually have a Perpetual plan which is currently 50 off so for a one-time 50 fee you can have this PDF editor for life and they even throw some goodies in here you can see that they will give you 10 gigabytes of cloud storage so definitely a really really great deal here I mean compared to the competition when it comes to pricing and what updf offers in terms of tools and usability and just the user experience I'm really impressed but there you go guys that's gonna do it for this video hope you enjoyed if you did be sure to leave a like subscribe for future videos to come and I'll see you in the next one peace
