UPDF - Reviews and experiences

it's fast, lightweight and the Thai OCR surprised me in a good way — way better than I expected compared to Adobe, which is weird but true. I started using it back at version 1.8 and upgraded to 2.0.9; the early days had some annoying stuff like slow font loading and edited text sometimes vanishing because of layer issues, but most of that seems fixed now. Editing feels smoother, fonts behave, and the odd problem I reported with Thai vowel rendering was addressed by the devs reasonably quickly — that responsiveness really sold me. It's not perfect, there are little rough edges, and sometimes I catch a tiny display glitch, but nothing that breaks my workflow. I use it mainly for scanned docs and multi-language edits, so the OCR strength is the deciding factor for me. I tipped my teammate about it last month and they liked it too; we both appreciate that it launches quickly and doesn't hog memory like other editors. Price is fair for what you get, and their support actually follows up, which is rare. Overall: reliable, improving, and practical — if you work with Thai text, try it, and if you don’t, it still feels snappy and solid enough to recommend.
