ABBYY is a good product at a good price that can be offered to customers. Interest in it is increasing.
The preview does not work, there is no tool to merge several files into one, often manual editing is required.
The output is very clean, and I like that the OCR editor gives so many options to help customize and improve the output so that I can use the text in a translation tool.
The main drawback of ABBYY FineReader is the inability to view the history of document changes in your account. The second minus is that there is no tool for merging several files into one.
I like the many available languages and a large number of functions that allow us to quickly recognize significant amounts of text. There is integration with popular cloud services.
ABBYY FineReader is much inferior to Adobe Acrobat Pro.
I love that this tool lets me convert reams of printed docs into softcopies that I can save and save in my PC.
We use this tool for scanning hard copies of surveys, questionnaires, CVs and all kinds of standard documents such as contracts.
And I love the uncluttered, easy to use interface. Just seems like a perfect choice for any business, but especially worthwhile for small businesses that can't afford the overpriced alternatives.
A lot of the time I get an error message stating the document was unable to be converted and it had failed but in fact it had succeeded which can be an irritation but it's not the end of the world.
What I like most about this software is that it's very easy to use. My company wanted an option other than an Acrobat product and Nuance is great.
There were NO search matches for my error within their portal AND or Google. I would stay with the Nuance version.
We needed a fast reliable PDF program that could do then just view documents and this was the clear winner.
I have uninstalled , installed, turned off my firewall, allowed execution of the software through my virus protection, etc, etc, etc. to no avail.
I have been using Nuance for over 3 years now. I have liked there software and have always received great customer service.
Text editing and overlay within existing documents was a little difficult at times to match with documents made in Adobe or Microsoft Word.
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.
Nigel: My name is Nigel. I'm the managing director of the company D13 Solutions Limited. We've given Kofax Power PDF a rating of 5 out of 5. We looked at a number of PDF alternative solutions, the main one being Adobe Acrobat. We looked at lots of factors, functionality against cost to choose the one we went with. So the reasons we chose Power PDF from Kofax is due to the full availability of all the functions that we needed, and we mainly use that for editing, PDFs, semi-signature work, and a lot of conversion. So we're regularly converting office documents into PDFs and this product does that very well. And it also allows us to do PDF forms very, very easily as well. All of those features come at a great cost with Power PDF, so that's why we chose it. So the product's very easy to install and set up. The features that we use predominantly are very intuitive. There's a very good dashboard and ribbon that gives you all the main features you want to use. If you do get a little bit stuck, there's a lot of information around on YouTube and also on the help within the product to help you get the most out of it. And I'll be honest, there's so many features in there that we don't use. We can grow and grow and do more and more with it. I would definitely say download the trial. They do offer a trial period. We used that first to give it an evaluation, it's full-featured. We were absolutely delighted with it, and that's the reason why we tried it, and that's the reason why it got chosen by us because we could evaluate it in full.
