Edit and Comment PDFs

PDF has become the de-facto standard for sharing digital documents and information.

With FineReader 14, PDF documents, whether scanned or digitally created, are accessible

for immediate use. You can edit, comment and protect any type of PDF, ll out PDF forms,

collaborate with your colleagues, and create and share PDFs with ease.

Convert PDFs and Scans

For more than 20 years ABBYY FineReader has been synonymous with OCR (optical char-

acter recognition). It has enabled business professionals and knowledge workers around

the world to work more efciently with documents – allowing them to digitize and access

information previously locked in paper and image-based documents, nd relevant informa-

tion faster and better prepare documents for long-term archiving.

Compare Documents

Comparing text from different versions of a document is a time consuming and laborious

task. FineReader 14 provides an efcient and fast way to detect text differences between

two document versions and to make sure that no critical changes were made to previously

nalized text. You can now compare the nal version of a contract in Word with the scanned

copy that your partner sent back signed – quickly, easily and efciently.

Automate Conversion

Sometimes there are just too many documents to process one by one. With ABBYY

FineReader 14 this is no longer an issue. It provides Hot Folder tool that allows you to

schedule automated processing of your documents, leaving you free to deal with other

tasks. Whether you need to convert multiple images and scans into searchable PDF and

PDF/A documents for long-term archiving or conversion of documents into editable le

formats such as Microsoft® Word and Excel®, FineReader has your back.

ABBYY FineReader 14 is an all-in-one PDF and OCR software application for increasing document productivity.

It provides powerful tools for convenient work with both scanned paper documents and PDFs.
