We highly recommend it...We were on the lookout for better programs. So our IT specialist tried several programs and ABBYY FineReader topped the list in accuracy and ease. It delivered the precision we needed. I use it to convert forms into editable and form-fillable PDFs. We highly recommend it every time somebody comes in needing scanning software. I’ve had nothing but positive feedback on our end.
