What stands out most about this app is the speed and accuracy at which it processes your documents. > > **Cons**: ABBY FineReader PDF lacks full indexing for quicker file searches. I find the cooperate version a bit costly in terms of pricing. > > ABBY Fine Reader PDF, is a market leader in its category, nothing matches it, it is a superb intuitive software that has makes PDF document conversion and manipulation to easy. ----- ### "Try The Best Full Feature PDF Editor" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *December 14, 2023* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once I familiarized myself with the interface, the program worked as needed. No need to keep referring back to Dr Google or support. > > **Cons**: The initial interface. It took me a few weeks to look for things. For example, it was easy to delete a page...remove a page and set up a different PDF? That one has too many steps. > > I was getting frustrated with Adobe Acrobat and the fashion the company was taking it. I use the Fujitsu Scansnap and the Standard ABBYY Finereader was included with the scanner. Once I tried the full version of ABBYY, I was sold ----- ### "Unsolved problem with saving scanned PDF files - pages differ in size" — 2.0/5 > **Anton** | *December 26, 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was quite OK with previous versions of ABBYY FineReader - been using it for about 10 years. > > **Cons**: However, ABBYY FineReader 16 on a Win 10 machine is saving scanned PDF docs with pages of different sizes. I did not find any solution in ABBYY knowledge base, and was not able to submit a service ticket since the SUBMIT button just did not respond without any hints. A typical case of product degradation :(( > > Frustrating - it failed me after many years of service. The current service level is close to zero. ----- ### "ABBYY FineReader PDF - Everything you need and beyond" — 5.0/5 > **Philip** | *May 22, 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Essential for ANYTHING PDF, meaning FOR EVERYBODY" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *July 1, 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How powerful it is to convert to and from PDF seemlessly, preserving all important formatting. I can create a custom PDF from multiple file formats and send it out to clients very quickly, which is essential, as I am doing everything, besides seeing my clients as a psychotherapist. I create PDF documents that are personalized for each client and they think I have spent days creating it. It helps THEM get better. > > **Cons**: It's a little clunky as a pdf reader. I wish there was a lite version that would open when I just want to quickly read a pdf. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047083/abbyy-finereader?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047083/abbyy-finereader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
