Quifa Journey with UPDF: From Functional Limitations to Streamlined Processes

PDF is the most commonly used file type in the corporate space. In fact, 82% of businesses have made PDFs their primary document storage/sharing format.

When PDF use has become so mainstream, the need to use PDF solutions is also increasing to handle PDF-related tasks, such as editing, annotating, filling, signing, and doing more with PDFs. That's what made Quifa look for a reliable PDF solution that can streamline PDF-related processes and increase productivity. This is when Quifa encountered UPDF and became one of its satisfied users.

Follow along to learn how UPDF transformed Quifa's PDF management needs and optimized its operational expenditures and productivity.

Part 1. Challenges Faced by Quifa Before Using UPDF

Quifa is one of the largest self-care companies. It provides a wide range of self-care products and solutions to consumers across the globe and helps them improve their health and well-being. It offers products related to pain relief, personal care, flu, allergies, gastrointestinal, nutritional, and more.

Being a global brand, Quifa was looking for a reliable PDF solution to streamline day-to-day PDF-related tasks. However, it faced a few major challenges at this stage, as follows:

1. High-priced Solutions

Quifa found many high-priced solutions in the market that don't have any real differences. Secondly, they come with high maintenance (subscription) costs that aren't affordable year by year.

Consider Adobe Acrobat Pro as an example. It is a full-fledged PDF solution that offers various PDF-related features any organization needs. However, its "Acrobat Pro for teams" plan cost $23.99/month/license. This is significantly high, especially when an organization requires dozens of licenses for its employees. Furthermore, it becomes a high operational cost to bear for years to come.

Therefore, Quifa was struggling to find a reliable, cost-friendly solution among the many high-priced ones in the market.

2. Functional Limitations

Another challenge Quifa faced was the functional limitations of existing solutions. The PDF solutions available in the market did not offer the comprehensive set of features that Quifa needed. This led to incomplete tasks and inefficiencies.

Part 2. UPDF: A Better and Comprehensive Solution for Quifa

PDF is an integral part of Quifa operations. Whether it's regulatory affairs specialists, quality assurance managers, medical content writers, or others, they use PDFs for different purposes. Therefore, the solution to Quifa's challenges was a feature-rich and affordable PDF solution.

When Quifa came across UPDF, they found it to check up to 90% of all the boxes compared to other solutions.

UPDF is an award-winning, ultimate PDF reader/editor tool. It provides a modernized interface and a comprehensive set of features to handle almost all PDF activities, from creating and reading PDFs to editing, annotating, and doing more with PDFs.

UPDF not only met the performance and feature requirements of Quifa employees but also made a significant impact in several key areas, as follows:

1. Low Pricing Model

UPDF's highly cost-friendly premium plans attracted Quifa significantly. Instead of following the global trend of subscription-based services, UPDF offers a "one-time" fee model.

UPDF Pro will make all features accessible for just $99/perpetual/user for a lifetime. This means that a one-time payment gives access to the current and future upgrades of UPDF for free for life.

Compared to Adobe Acrobat Pro, this is highly cost-friendly. As mentioned above, the "Acrobat Pro for teams" requires $23.99/month/license cost, which becomes hundreds of dollars per year for each user. In contrast, UPDF Pro requires initial investment and that's it!

2. SSO Login Feature

UPDF provides convenience at every stage. It offers an SSO login feature to help Quifa employees log in with the same credentials they use for other platforms.

For example, they can directly log in to UPDF using their Microsoft Azure account. This makes their workflow much easier.

3. PDF Creation and Editing Feature

UPDF offers exceptional PDF creation and editing features. It helps regulatory affairs specialists, medical writers, clinical research associates (CRAs), and other professionals to create, edit, and format documents.

For example, regulatory affairs specialists or medical writers can create PDFs from blank and add text, images, headers/footers to create comprehensive documents. They can also convert other file formats (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.) to PDF.

Similarly, UPDF empowers quality assurance managers to edit and update SOPs and other QA processes with its powerful Edit PDF mode. In short, UPDF provides Quifa employees with a one-stop platform to create and edit PDFs.

4. PDF Form Creation and Filling Feature

UPDF makes PDF form creation and filling easy and quick. If a QA manager wants to create new forms for QA processes, UPDF helps them create interactive PDF forms with different fields, such as text fields, checkboxes, image fields, dropdown lists, and more.

Similarly, UPDF helps Quifa professionals and third-party partners easily fill and submit necessary documents, such as feedback forms, QA checklists, and more.

In short, UPDF enhances the productivity of PDF form-related activities and empowers Quifa to become more digitalized in its operations.
