It's very helpful as a place to perform a very specified task. I like that once I know what I want, I can get a really good product from FineReader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hit or miss with some pdfs. Older ones especially. Further, I wish it offered more value in a way that differentiates it from Adobe. It's branding and look probably contributes to this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that I can use it for the tables and that it can easily read documents and books Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe it is a bit expensive, above all FineReader for windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can convert tif files into small pdf format, which is very much a storage saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I edit tif file, and there is a prominent spot on the document, when I try to erase it, it makes the other part selected by the eraser black. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for editing PDFs. I like the ability to define table borders for OCR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the Windows PDF to EXCEL harder to use than MAC Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use and options for working with various file types... Editing pages and putting together large documents of different types is a breeze. Need different file types for home banking? or working with photos? no problem... it's all there!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I first used Abby FineReader when it was a single one time purchase and use subscription without yearly fees which made it better for that than other products... but the subscription is more than reasdonable given the products features and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use FineReader PDF for Mac. The best feature is the seamless integration to my iPhone. With the click of a button, it will engage my iPhone and use it like a scanner. It will allow me to capture multiple pages from my iPhone. It will then let me manipulate what I capture using all of the great editing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 10 is because I can't use it to just capture an image of a document. FineReader PDF wants to convert everything to a PDF. I get that. But it would be nice if I could use the capture feature to just capture an image on my Mac and not convert it to PDF or Word or one of the other cool formats I might need.

It is very helpful when converting files with tables and figures, crispiness of text and maintaining cohesiveness in paragraphs that run over more than one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't find any downsides! Overall excellent performance and a real run for your money. I am having a hard time trying to find room for improvement beyond what standard OCR issues might be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall performance is well enough for technical papers. Perfect positioning and settings resulting to original look of the Word - document. I use only ABBYY for the reason that it fulfills my epxtectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Poor converting of tables with columns and both numbers and letters - ABBYY is not able to follow the font and positioning of the original tables, meaning that I will have to edit every table and this is a time-taking painful operation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usually accurate OCR. Latest version better than previous one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Editing text blocks and sometimes graphic elements (like vertical line streaks) is kludgy. When drawing a box around elements to be deleted, one should be able to hit the "Delete" key to make it disappear instead of right click and then a Delete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The OCR Functionality is great, exporting to other programs (Excell or Word) is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing for the moment. Every functionality is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
