This guide explains how new users can accept their UPDF invitation, create an account, install the desktop app, set UPDF as the default PDF viewer, and sign in.
📌 Note: Park Street IT installs and configures UPDF directly on all Park Street–managed employee computers. For employees of contracted partner companies (for example, Sykes/Foundever, Cloudstaff, or Consumer Sketch), the partner company's local IT team should use this guide to install and configure UPDF because Park Street IT does not manage those devices.
