ABBYY FineReader PDF Key Features

Reuse information from PDFs
With just a few clicks, you can extract (copy and paste) text and tables directly from any PDF file while preserving formatting. Check and update metadata and verify digital signatures to ensure document authenticity and integrity.
Recover information from any type of PDF
Full-text keyword search and bookmarks help you find information quickly and easily even in scanned PDFs. As soon as you open the document, FineReader PDF automatically detects unsearchable PDF documents and immediately applies OCR (optical character recognition) to make them searchable.
