Step 1: Open a Christmas Letter Template

First and foremost, you can download the free PDF Christmas card template here and then import it to UPDF. Or if you want to create the Christmas Letter from scratch, you can create a blank page on the UPDF interface to start writing letters. To do so, launch the UPDF on your device and go to the "File" tab to access the "Create" feature. After clicking on this feature, choose the "Blank Page" option from the drop-down menu to finally open a new page.

Step 2: Write the Content for Your Christmas Letter

Sometimes, you may have many things that want to include in the letter but you do not know how to express them all or you may have no idea about what to write and how to write to express your feelings. In this case, you can use the AI Assistant of UPDF to write for you. Here is how to do it.

You need to click on the "UPDF AI" icon in the right side corner, click on "Chat" to switch the chat mode, and enter the prompt with all the information you want to include in the letter. Here is the prompt example that I entered.

"I want to write a Christmas letter to my boyfriend who lives far away from me and cannot celebrate Christmas together. I want to express that I want him to be happy and feel I am with him."

Now, the UPDF's AI Assistant will generate all the letter content for you. You can click on the "Regenerate" icon at the topic of the message if the content is not what you need. When the content is OK for you, you can click on the "Copy" icon on the top menu list to copy the email content.

Step 3. Paste the Content to the Christmas Letter Template

Click the "Edit PDF" icon to access various editing features. Now, click on the content you want to replace with the letter content. Select all the content and paste the copied content to replace them all.

As the AI-generated Christmas letter cannot be perfect for you, you need to make some changes. Also, you can change the font color, size, style, and other formats.

If you want to add new content to the Christmas Letter, you can hit the "Text" tool on the top toolbar of your screen and click anywhere on the page to write content for your Christmas letter.  

Step 4: Utilize Comment Mode to Personalize the Christmas Letter

After writing the content for your letter, click the "Comment" icon to add different stickers and stamps. You can do so by clicking on the "Sticker" icon and then choosing the sticker of your choice from the drop-down menu. Finally, click anywhere on the page where you want to add the sticker.

Step 5. Share or Send the Christmas Letter

When you finish customizing the Christmas Letter, you can share this Christmas Letter with your lovers. You can do it directly with UPDF. Just click on "Share this file with others", and click on "Create" to create a link and QR code to share. Or you can click on "Share with Others" to enter the email address and content to share with your lovers directly.
