Edit all of the PDF

With FineReader 15, editing PDFs of any kind, including scanned documents, has become almost as easy as with a text editor. You can edit entire paragraphs, change the text formatting, edit table cells, and even rearrange the whole layout.

Export document comparisons

In addition to exporting the differences between two versions of a document as comments in a PDF, you can now also export the results as a Word document in track-changes mode. This allows you to easily accept or reject the edits and finalize the document (for FineReader 15 Corporate only).

Compare Documents In Different Formats (for FineReader 15 Corporate only)

Quickly and reliably identify differences between two versions of a document across different formats, including scans. Rest assured that you can, in a fraction of the time, identify unauthorized changes, check if edits were implemented as agreed, or verify that the document has not been changed at all.

Avoid the long and tiresome process of comparing text in two documents line by line. FineReader PDF detects the differences between two versions of a document within seconds. It accurately identifies relevant changes to the text without additional conversion steps, even if the versions of the document are in different formats such as Microsoft Office files, digital PDFs, scanned PDFs, or even scans and image files.

Tailor comparison results to your needs. When someone should approve or edit the changes, export to Microsoft Word in track-changes mode. Or use a PDF with the differences marked up as comments to share and discuss with others. You can even save a list of the differences themselves in a Microsoft Word table in order to have a brief overview for your records, reports, or discussions.

FineReader will only display the differences that affect the meaning of the document and disregard insignificant differences like formatting or line breaks. This lets you review documents 5 to 20 times faster*, so you can focus on what is most important, simplify your work, and reduce the chances of missing something that matters. You can even manually disregard differences that are not significant for your task, and they will no longer appear in the list of comparison results.

*In comparison to other PDF solutions, when comparing document copies in DOC(X) and digital PDF formats, according to ABBYY’s internal tests.

FineReader supports text comparison in 38 languages, including documents written in multiple languages. The software can also automatically detect a document’s language.

Automate Digitization And Conversion Routines (for FineReader 15 Corporate only)

Take advantage of automation tools to streamline repeating OCR conversion tasks or convert multiple documents into editable formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and more. Make all your paper documents and PDFs searchable and use industry standards for long-term archiving (such as PDF/A) to ensure documents will be accessible in the future.

Use a Hot Folder to automate document conversion tasks for individuals or workgroups, for example to prepare documents scanned on the office multifunction printer or obtained by email as attachments for further processing. A Hot Folder is capable of processing up to 5,000 pages per month* (the number of pages resets every 30 days) and uses up to 2 CPU cores for the document conversion.

*Conversion of multiple documents within the main FineReader 15 user interface (New Task window) is unlimited in all product editions (Standard, Corporate).

Set up a watched folder on a local or network drive, FTP server, or mailbox, and any files placed in it will be converted automatically with the pre-defined settings, immediately or according to a schedule. With a Hot Folder, you can set up the processing settings for each watched folder individually.

Set up custom Automated Tasks with conversion steps and settings specifically tailored to your frequently performed tasks. Make repeating, daily conversion procedures easier to carry out in just a few clicks.

Get more accurate document conversion

The latest improvements in ABBYY’s AI-based OCR technology provide higher accuracy for Japanese, Korean and Chinese characters and better automatic tagging for PDF and PDF/UA creation. The intelligent detection of text-layer quality for digitally-created PDFs allows for more accurate results when converting into editable formats.

Make an impact across the organization

New Remote User licenses allow organizations to use FineReader with desktop and application virtualization solutions. New options have been added to customize FineReader settings during deployment using Group Policy Objects.

WORK EASILY WITH A UNIVERSAL PDF TOOL

Perform various document-related tasks within one single application. Decrease costs by investing in fewer pieces of software.
