Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing ABBYY FineReader!
Electronic documents are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, business contracts, books and periodicals are still printed and
millions of people use ABBYY FineReader to convert hard–copy documents into electronic formats.
ABBYY FineReader gives you the edge by providing full control over printed information: you can quickly transform any printed text
or PDF file into an editable format and re–use their content.
ABBYY FineReader will help you:
● collect information from various sources and draw up a report
● edit a paper document or fax
● write an article, a thesis or a paper for publication
● publish newspaper and book clippings on the Web
● extract text from a PDF file and make changes to it
ABBYY FineReader is very easy to use. Even if you are a novice to optical character recognition, you will get results in a matter of
minutes. And if you are an OCR professional, you can have full control over all the OCR settings and parameters. This User’s Guide will
introduce you to the features and commands of ABBYY FineReader and help you teach your computer to “read.”
Welcome to OCR!
