Global organizations are looking for cost-friendly, feature-rich, and user-friendly solutions to modernize their operations. That's what led Novadis to UPDF, an advanced PDF management tool to tackle operational costs and complex document processes. Follow along to learn how UPDF transformed the document workflow of Novadis.
Part 1. Challenges Before Using UPDF
Novadis is a well-known enterprise in the IP video industry, designing state-of-the-art security solutions for businesses. Specializing in IT and network security, access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, and third-party integrations, Novadis delivers comprehensive security systems.
With ten years of experience and strategic partnerships with OnSSI and DDS, Novadis provides unified solutions for designing and maintaining security infrastructure for organizations of all sizes.
Over the years, Novadis has relied on Adobe Acrobat Pro for its PDF-related tasks, such as reading, editing, encrypting, and converting files. However, the company encountered several challenges during this journey, including:
“Depending on the department my colleagues work in, we can modify objects, rewrite them, or convert the file to another format. The software that we used to prefer and that met our various use cases was Adobe Acrobat Pro. However, its OPEX is considerable all year round! On the other hand, UPDF offers a good alternative. What's more, the UX is very user-friendly.”

- Less User-Friendly Interface: Novadis employees found Adobe Acrobat Pro's interface less user-friendly. Mastering all its features requires a bit of a learning curve.
- High Operational Expenditure (OpEx): Adobe Acrobat Pro has expensive premium plans. Acrobat Pro for Teams costs $23.99/month per license. So, Novadis faced OpEx considerably high all year round.
- Limited AI Assistance: Although Adobe Acrobat Pro provides an AI assistant to help with summarizing or chatting with PDF, Novadis felt that the support was limited and less intuitive.
All the above challenges made Novadis seek a better PDF management tool. That's when UPDF came into the picture.

Part 2. UPDF: The Problem-Solver of Novadis Challenges
UPDF is a PDF reader/editor designed to offer businesses a modernized and feature-rich tool. It offers almost all the features accessible with Adobe Acrobat Pro but with better UX and cost-friendly rates.
Since Novadis has professionals in various roles who require PDF solutions for different purposes, UPDF became their go-to tool, perfectly meeting their needs.
UPDF is solving many problems Novadis was facing with Adobe Acrobat Pro. Below are the two specific issues UPDF addressed effectively:
1. Low Pricing Demand
What attracted Novadis the most about UPDF is its unique and cost-friendly pricing. Instead of offering subscription plans that cost thousands of bucks, UPDF offers a "one-time" fee model with lifetime access.
For just $99/person (one-time fee), UPDF offers lifetime access to the tool. This is a game-changer, especially if compared with Adobe Acrobat Pro. The Acrobat Pro for Teams costs $23.99/month/license, which becomes $287.88 per year. This was the never-ending operational expense that Novadis had to bear with Adobe Acrobat Pro.
The one-time fee model of UPDF requires Novadis to arrange an initial investment only. Afterward, all new UPDF updates or feature enhancements are accessible for free for life.
2. Improve Work Efficiency
UPDF AI is an ideal virtual assistant for Novadis employees to handle day-to-day tasks. It is a powerful AI assistant that helps chat with PDFs and ask AI anything.
With UPDF AI, Novadis employees can:
- Summarize PDF: Quickly summarize entire documents, specific sections, or selected content, making it easier for Novadis employees to review extensive security reports and proposals efficiently.
- Translate PDF: Instantly translate PDF content into multiple languages, enabling Novadis to collaborate seamlessly with international partners and clients.
- Explain/Chat PDF: Use interactive chat to clarify complex security terminologies or technical details within documents, enhancing understanding and communication among Novadis team members.
- Generate Mind Map: Convert PDF to mind map for a visual representation of security systems and solutions, facilitating clearer presentations and strategic planning sessions.
- Chat with Images: Upload and interact with images to extract text, explain details, or generate content. This is useful for Novadis when reviewing and annotating visual security schematics and surveillance footage.
- Assistance Beyond PDF: Leverage AI to brainstorm ideas, write or rewrite content, proofread, and more. This helps Novadis streamline document creation, marketing materials, and internal communications.
UPDF AI is accessible on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and the web. This means that Novadis employees can use it as their everyday virtual assistant no matter which platform they are using.
Although Adobe Acrobat also offers an AI assistant, it does not match the convenience and features of UPDF AI.
Simply put, UPDF and its AI assistant have become the ideal problem-solver for Novadis, giving its employees a reliable platform to handle PDF activities effectively and boost productivity.
“UPDF AI saves a significant amount of time when reading a relatively long document. You can quickly find the location of the elements you're looking for in the text, or ask someone to summarise the document in a specific tone. The opportunities are numerous.”
