ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
Integration with Microsoft Office
When you install ABBYY FineReader, it is integrated with Microsoft Office. As a result, the ABBYY
FineReader PDF add-in will appear in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and
Microsoft Outlook, allowing you to create PDF documents and launch conversions and comparisons of
documents directly from these applications.
The tab's features vary depending on the application itself.
Integration is carried out with both Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Office 2019.
If the ABBYY FineReader PDF Ribbon tab is missing from your Microsoft Office toolbar...
The ABBYY FineReader PDF Ribbon tab may be missing from the application's toolbar if the
corresponding add-in was not enabled in the Microsoft Office parameters. If this is the case, do the
following (if you are using Microsoft Word):
· In the Word Options window (File > Options), navigate to the Add-ins tab. Next, select COM Add-
ins in the Manage drop-down list and click Go... In the dialog box that will appear, select ABBYY
FineReader MSWord COM Add-In and click OK.
This will make the ABBYY FineReader PDF Ribbon tab appear in your Microsoft Word toolbar.
If the ABBYY FineReader MSWord COM Add-In option is missing from the COM Add-ins dialog,
Microsoft Office integration was either disabled during the installation of ABBYY FineReader or has
been deleted.
To install the add-in, do the following:
1. Navigate to Programs and Features (Start > Settings > Control Panel or Start >
Settings > System > Apps & features, if you are using Windows 10).
2. From the list of installed programs, select ABBYY FineReader PDF and click
Change/Remove.
3. In the Custom Installation dialog, select the appropriate components.
4. After that, follow the instructions of the setup wizard.
