5.0

Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. I'm president of a trade association. I give ABBYY Reader a five out of five. For more reviews, click below. I like ABBYY Reader because it's a very quick and easy way to edit PDF documents as well as view them. I use it as my default viewer, but I also use it to edit documents and find it very useful. What I like the most about ABBYY FineReader is the compare documents function that allows me to compare two different PDF documents without converting the documents to any other format. It highlights the changes for me and allows me to save time that otherwise I would spend trying to compare documents line by line. There really isn't anything that I would change about this ABBYY FineReader. It is the perfect solution for my business. We are in the business of dealing with legislation and so looking at multiple versions of bills, it's very important to be able to tell what the changes are. And that's what we find most useful about ABBYY Reader as well was being able to edit PDF documents on the fly.

Harlan: Hello, my name is Harlan. I am the director of operations at a construction company and I give DocFly five stars. And for more reviews click below. Prior to using DocFly, we were using Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro actually as well as Summit PDF. And we just didn't like it so we switched to a DocFly. One of the reasons we chose DocFly for our business was it was easy to onboard and most of my crew aren't technically advanced, but they had no issues at all getting used to using DocFly. It was a super easy to onboard. As I said previously, my crew isn't all that technologically advanced and DocFly just makes it super easy to onboard. Really not much to do. Download and you're around to go. I would recommend for certainly startup businesses to get on board with DocFly. It's easy again to onboard. It's a relatively inexpensive and most importantly, your employees will be happy that you did. It's easy to use.
