Complete and Versatile Solution for PDF Conversion
ABBYY, a leader in intelligent document recognition and linguistic technologies, today announced the global availability of ABBYY PDF Transformer, the most comprehensive solution for converting PDF files into editable file formats.
ABBYY PDF Transformer applies the company’s award-winning OCR and document analysis technologies with Adobe ® PDF Library technology to processes any type of PDF file, regardless of origin, including PDFs developed from input devices such as multifunction peripherals, digital copiers and scanners, or those produced from applications like Microsoft Word and Excel.
PDF Transformer also converts to more file formats than any other PDF conversion utility with output to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, HTML, and ASCII text. With each PDF conversion, the resulting file accurately retains the layout and formatting of the original PDF.
PDF Transformer is geared to any home or business user in need of unlocking and repurposing information from PDF files. PDF Transformer allows users to transform their contracts, brochures, archived documents, or any other document from PDF into popular Microsoft Office applications while retaining all layout and formatting. With the proliferation of PDFs, PDF Transformer helps users increase their productivity while eliminating the need for re-typing.
“PDF usage has increased significantly in the workplace over the last few years,” said Susan Moyse, analyst for InfoTrends Research Group. “In our most recent scanner research, we’ve found that nearly 70 percent of the corporate respondents are using their scanners for scan-to-PDF purposes and creating a large amount of scanned PDFs. We can see the potential for the need of an application like PDF Transformer that converts PDFs to editable formats.”
“PDF Transformer is for business and home users who use PDF files and have the need to convert them into editable formats for editing in Word, Excel or HTML applications,” said Dean Tang, president and CEO of ABBYY USA. “These users may have tried other PDF conversion products without much success because some PDF conversion utilities process only application-generated PDFs, but can’t handle scanned PDFs, whereas PDF Transformer will help them with any PDF file, regardless of how it was created.”
