The complete PDF document toolkit for business
Convert, edit and share PDFs and scans, and work on them together with your team.
What is ABBYY FineReader PDF?
ABBYY FineReader PDF is a complete solution for editing, protecting and collaborating on PDF documents. It is built on ABBYY’s OCR technology, optical character recognition, so scanned documents and images become files you can genuinely edit and search.
It is made for organisations that want to automate their processes and stop losing hours to manual retyping. Anything that arrives on paper or as a scan joins the same workflow as the rest of your digital documents.
Dedicated editions are available for businesses and organisations.
