As a retiree, Antonio Fernández de Tejada González is passionate about studying ancient books, mostly related to Indian philosophy. He is utilizing his time in recovering old books that have been badly scanned. For that, he needed a reliable tool that could help convert scanned books into editable format and then help edit the incorrect words.
Antonio has chosen UPDF as his all-in-one PDF solution to address his workflow needs. UPDF helps him easily convert the books to editable format using the OCR technology and then edit the text where required. Follow along to learn about Antonio's journey with UPDF.
Part 1. Challenges Faced Before UPDF
Antonio's day-to-day work involves handling and recovering old, poorly scanned books, even century-old ones. For that, he converted PDF format to ODT, Word, or other text formats, allowing him to recover books and edit and correct inaccurate texts. This was even more problematic for Indian philosophy, which involved unique Indian letters.
Antonio also had to deal with image-based PDFs rather than text-based documents. He needed a tool that could accurately convert image-based PDFs to editable PDFs with OCR. Although he used Adobe, FoxRedit, and PDFsam Basic software solutions, none of them met his requirements effectively.
Part 2. How UPDF Solved His Challenges
Antonio has found UPDF an all-in-one tool that greatly helps him improve his workflow. He mostly uses UPDF to edit PDF archives. UPDF has a powerful PDF editor that helps directly edit PDFs without converting them to Word or other editable formats. So, Antonio can easily review and correct inaccurate texts from books directly with UPDF.

Secondly, Antonio is also leveraging UPDF OCR to scan image-based PDFs. UPDF OCR performs an AI-driven scan to convert scanned PDFs to editable ones. This makes it easy for Antonio to recover and correct old books. However, Antonio says that UPDF OCR is sometimes unable to detect old languages like Sanskrit or Pali.
Antonio is also using UPDF's AI assistant and page tools where required. The UPDF AI assistant helps to chat with PDFs and get summaries, translations, and explanations. Similarly, the UPDF page tools help to add/change background, add header/footer, or create/add watermarks.
In short, UPDF is Antonio's one-stop PDF tool that fulfills his day-to-day PDF-related needs. That's why Antonio is able to save a lot of time using UPDF software.
“The UPDF has partially solved these challenges although it has helped me greatly in improving my work. Some PDFs are images and after using the UPDF OCR tools, sometimes I can work with the texts.”

Part 3. Comparison with Other Tools
Before using UPDF, Antonio worked with Adobe, FoxRedit, and PDFsam Basic. None of the tools effectively fulfilled his PDF-related needs. He needed a powerful and intuitive tool to help edit PDF archives, scan image-based PDFs, and offer other page tools. That's all he received with UPDF.
Secondly, UPDF is much more intuitive and cost-friendly. It just requires $39.99/year to access all the features (excluding AI), which is the best subscription plan available among other tools.
Part 4. Suggestions and Endorsement
As a retiree, Antonio is not very tech-savvy. So, learning modern computer language can be difficult for him. He needs software solutions with proper tutorials that can guide him through using the tool.
So, he wants UPDF to provide more tutorials on using its features. Specifically, he wants Spanish manuals that are accessible offline and can be printed. Furthermore, he suggests that UPDF explain more about how to use its AI feature.
