ABBYY® FineReader 14 User’s Guide
What's New in ABBYY FineReader
Improved OCR speed and quality
· The documents are now processed faster and text is recognized even more accurately.
· More of the original formatting is retained as the program now detects graphs and diagrams with
greater precision.
· New OCR languages added: mathematical symbols (used for recognizing simple one-line
formulas) and English transcription symbols.
Creating and converting PDF documents
· Improved conversion of PDF documents with a text layer: the program will use the original text
layer if available.
· ABBYY FineReader can now create PDF documents from office documents such as *.docx,
*.xlsx, *.rtf, etc., and combine multiple files into one PDF.
Working with PDF documents
The program now includes a powerful tool for working with PDF documents, which allows you to:
· Edit different types of PDF documents (including those that only contain scans) without the need to
recognize or convert the entire document.
· View PDF documents, search inside PDF documents, and highlight text fragments.
· Add comments and notes to PDF documents and reply to other peoples' comments.
· Fill out and save PDF forms.
· View and edit metadata.
· Find and remove sensitive information both in the body text and in the comments, bookmarks, and
metadata of a document.
· Add Bates numbers to your documents.
· Sign your documents with a digital signature.
Comparing documents
· You can now compare two versions of the same document, which need not be in the same format.
For example, you can compare a text version and an image, a PDF document and a scan, etc.
Batch processing of PDF documents
· Create PDF documents from files in various formats.
· Batch-process PDF documents: create PDF/A compliant PDF documents, reduce the size of your
documents, improve the quality of document images, protect PDF documents with passwords,
and permanently delete sensitive information.
