What's New in ABBYY FineReader 9.0
Version 9.0 of ABBYY FineReader provides a number of major enhancements and features. Some features (as specified below) are
specific to ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Corporate Edition or ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Site License Edition.
Intelligent document processing
● Proprietary OCR technology
ABBYY FineReader uses ABBYY's latest groundbreaking Adaptive Document Recognition Technology to analyze multi–page
documents in their entirety rather than page by page. This approach preserves the logical organization of the document, retaining
not only the original text and columns, but also headers, footers, fonts, styles, footnotes, and the numbered captions of tables and
pictures. The resulting electronic version can be easily edited and re–used.
● Matching fonts and styles
Significant changes have been made to the font recognition module, which now identifies the fonts used in the original
document and finds the best matches from among the available fonts on your computer.
● Multi–lingual recognition
This new version recognizes 179 recognition languages.
Ease of use
● Auto–detection of document languages
FineReader no longer requires you to manually select recognition languages for your documents prior to starting OCR. The
program uses advanced algorithms to detect the languages used.
● Improved interface
FineReader’s new resultsdriven interface has been enhanced to be simpler and more intuitive. Windows, toolbars, keyboard
shortcuts, as well as scanning, OCR, and saving options, can be customized. New interactive tips streamline user learning and help
you get results faster.
● New QuickTasks
FineReader provides numerous predefined QuickTasks that allow you to quickly convert your PDF documents, images, digital
photos or scanned paper documents into a Microsoft Word document, Microsoft Excel worksheet, or PDF file. You can launch
any of the QuickTasks with a single mouse click:
– from the Quick Tasks window
– from Start>Programs>ABBYY FineReader 9.0
– or from the shortcut menu of a file.
● Running OCR from within other applications
Version 9.0 adds support for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Outlook to the previous integration with Microsoft Word.
● Multi–core processor support
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 harnesses the capabilities of the increasingly popular multi–core processors. This technology allows users
to perform several document processing steps simultaneously without slowing down the system.
PDF/A, DOCX, and XLSX support
● PDF/A
Now you can save your documents in PDF/A, a commonly used for long–term document storage in archives and libraries.
● DOCX and XLSX
Integration with Microsoft Office 2007 allows you to save recognized documents in DOCX and XLSX.
Professional features
● Working with legal texts
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 automatically identifies the specialized elements and formatting found in legal documents. The product
automatically identifies legal documents and preserves their original attributes, such as signatures in contracts and line numbers
from pleading documents.
● Section 508 Compliance
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 complies with Section 508. The software’s accessibility features include customizable keyboard shortcuts
and wizards that can be easily read by screen readers; beep signals that single the end of operations; and text that is automatically
scaled to the screen’s width.
