For small and medium-sized businesses, big companies, and public and educational institutions, FineReader PDF provides a comprehensive and cost-effective PDF solution.
Individuals, small businesses, and organizations needing to work with PDF files like editing, converting, signing, and annotating.
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.
PDF Pro's secret weapon is its ability to export to Word format, which is brilliant because it allows me to bring read-only PDFs into a dynamic text editing workflow.
It misbehaves from time to time when it refuses to do something.
Has all the capability of alternative programs at a substantial annual savings. I like the idea that I can pay for an annual subscription, rather than have to deal with monthly payments.
I think he UI can be a bit clunky at times, and I find the OCR to be a little bit hit and miss, especially when compared to some macOS alternatives.
Very useful and easy to get use to the software.
Maybe it has this ability, but the UI is such that I've missed it.
I would recommend it to anyone who has to produce PDF documents.
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.
