ABBYY FineReader PDF

Comments: Overall this is really good to use and recommend to use.

ABBYY FineReader PDF contains all the features that I need and is so user-friendly. Can do pdf conversion really easily. well manage the user interface.

No cons, really easy to use. really user-friendly interface.

Perfect software for people looking to replace Adobe Acrobat Pro

Comments: I made it about 4 days into the trial before I purchased the full license. I have removed most of the Adobe products I used to use from my workflow, and yet I always had to keep an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription to cover my PDF needs. This was a huge find for me as it can duplicate all that I needed from the Adobe products, and more, for a far more reasonable price. I have already recommended this software to my team as something we will cover to eliminate their needs for other products.

Pros:

The suite of features is far more expansive than my other PDF related products. The document management, document conversion, digital signatures, and the giant array of supported file types made this an easy choice for me. Especially when I started using it and realized that the UI was intuitive and top notch!

Cons:

There is not a lot I dislike about it. I think the only part that was a little difficult was getting the digital signature process set up how I wanted it to be in my workflow. It was the only area in the application that I really had to do some looking up to see how to get the most out of it.

For more better quality for Japanese language required

Pros:

reasonable price than Adobe PDF, it was a compromis solution.

Cons:

I miss really OCN Quality for Japanese and Comment function and "Prooing tools " like text adding, delete tools in PDF like Adobe.

After years Abbyy still carries several disappointing defects that don't justify it's price

Comments: It's impresses me that I've been using Abby for many years and it still carries many of the same defects it has always had; it sometimes does perfect conversions into Ms word but quite oftenly it renders a file in which I have to make many corrections before start working with it. The precisión to detect the characters has improved over the years and sometimes it can detect complex tables, which is nice to see, but regarding tables with not clear imprinted lines the program files to detect them at all.

Pros:

That only sometimes renders a perfect conversion into Ms word that I can use to work, and I mean a file where I don't have to remake any parts of the text or recapture images, etc.

Cons:

That it changes the page I'm working on just by scrolling, that's tedious. That's solves many of the text by putting it into a floating case box, and that's terrible and cannot be turned off. That many obvious tables are not detected by Abbyy when automatic converting, specially those without visible lines. That it fails to detect structures when converting scanned pages. That the function of detecting the headers and foots almost always fails, but instead it tries to convert as headers parts of the text that are not. Correcting all the above is time-consuming, which is contrary to the purpose of this program. And recently there is a contradiction between doing things in the main window of the OCR editor I'm doing them at the detailed window, for example if I try to select one cell to be treated as an image, it's conflicts the problem if I chose it at the main window or at the detail window, with the first one generally overriding the second. I'm now in Windows 11 the program crashes a lot.

ABBYY FineReader PDF - Everything you need and beyond

Comments: I use ABBYY FineReader PDF in my daily work and the product has become my indispensable assistant. I have tried other similar software, but the experience of working with ABBYY is the most satisfying.

Pros:

ABBYY FineReader PDF turned out to be an incredibly accurate OCR, combined with the recognition of over 190 languages, an excellent way to work directly in PDF, but at a much lower cost. All this, combined with the incredibly good and fast support makes the product excellent for the needs of anyone who works with PDF files.

Cons:

I can't point to anything I don't like. I use most of the functionalities and I am satisfied. The only thing that can cause a problem is the not always accurate conversion from PDF to Excel.
