What our customers are saying

Millions of customers worldwide trust and rely on ABBYY FineReader PDF for Windows to efficiently accomplish document tasks.

  • "A fantastic document OCR / conversion tool"

    Excellent price point, simplicity of use. Extracted text accuracy (e.g. PDF to Word) is excellent - staggering sometimes when you see the input quality. The comparison tool is particularly useful for seeing how someone may have altered a document sent then printed / scanned into PDF.

  • "There is really no competitor for FineReader 15"

    It has an uncanny ability to accurately deconstruct a document and capture the text, non-text elements and the layout. And it does this in multiple languages with equal accuracy. I think the product is unsurpassed.

  • "A nice alternative to the usual Adobe Acrobat PDF Editor"

    Seemingly smooth integration with my Xerox Scanner. Obvious button labeling and layout that makes finding actions intuitive. Low overall Memory footprint while using, which has been great when running multiple programs simultaneously. The conversion to various Office documents was also a very nice touch that I did not expect to have.
