The most comprehensive OCR SDK for software developers.
Integrate AI-powered OCR features into your applications.
The SDK allows conversion of scans, digital photos, Tiff, JPEG, BMP and other image formats into many types of searchable PDF and PDF/A formats. In addition, it allows importing PDF and PDF /A files and processing them in different ways.
For both types of PDF processing - the conversion of documents into PDF as well as processing of PDFs and PDF/A files, ABBYY FineReader Engine offers a broad range of options and tools and allows to process and create electronic documents according to the PDF/A-3 standards and ZUGFeRD-compliant electronic invoices.
ABBYY FineReader Engine analyzes internal information within the source PDF files such as: annotations, metadata, text objects, font dictionaries, content stream.
The FineReader SDK enhances PDF conversion performance and speed through efficient and accurate text detection. If text is embedded in the PDF file, the OCR engine examines the integrity of the text layer, and decides whether to extract the text or apply OCR on a block-by-block basis. This functionality can be tuned off if needed.
ABBYY FineReader Engine extracts internal PDF links, hyperlinks and document properties such as subject, author, title, keywords and bookmarks.
During the opening of PDF/A-3 files, the embedded data, such as XML or other data can be extracted passed to other systems - for example when processing electronic invoices.
ABBYY FineReader Engine supports a variety of PDF security settings:
ABBYY FineReader Engine enables export of metadata (bookmarks, hyperlinks, cross-references, etc.)

A tagged PDF can be "reflowed" to fit different page or screen sizes such as screens of smartphones, tablets or reader devices used by visually impaired users.
Enables conversion of documents in Chinese (both simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean into PDF format.
Ability to set the size for all pages of an output file.
To achieve the optimal PDF conversions results, developers can use predefined export profiles that contain pre-set options for different requirements.
Optimizes the PDF (PDF/A) export to deliver the highest visual quality of the output file.
PDF (PDF/A) exports settings are balanced between the visual quality of the resulting file, its size and the time needed for processing.
PDF (PDF/A) exports are optimized to deliver minimum file size.
PDF (PDF/A) exports are optimized to reach the highest processing speed.
