In my experience, optical character recognition works much better in FR than in Acrobat. I definitely have a lot of options for customising OCR. It shows exactly where "manual", human )) recognition would help make the end result even better. Many "semi-manual" options are supported (e.g. cleaning pages in various ways, making lines straighter and more horizontal, etc.). FR supports many languages (I work with a few dozen, about 40 different languages). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am very much confused by the fact that there are different subprogrammes in the programme (FR itself, separate OCR and some others) whose functions overlap. I still can't figure out which ABBYY editor (and there are many!) to choose in this or that situation. Sometimes I start working with FR and then switch to OCR because FR doesn't have some feature I need (but there are others that are in FR!). Another problem for me is that FR doesn't work with XFA forms, it can't even open a PDF containing such forms (( Also, some (not all, but some) changes made to a document in the editor cannot be undone! Yes, the programme warns about it, but it is really inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
