The moment you are starting to handle multiple documents of various formats on your computer, you may be asking yourself what you can use for a successful conversion.
Sure, there are many pieces of software that have the ability of converting a certain type of document to another, but that's usually done at a poor quality.
Wouldn't you like to have one software that can perform almost all types of conversion, and at an superior quality?
ABBYY FineReader is a tool designed to support multiple file types for conversion.
Once you initiate the application, you will be prompted by the New Task window, which includes several options.
In the first tab you can scan a file or convert it file (PDF or image) to OpenOffice Writer, scan and save and image, or scan a file to a searchable PDF.
If you choose the Writer tab, you can scan or convert a PDF or image to OpenOffice Writer, while the Adobe PDF tab lets you scan a file or convert an image to PDF.
Furthermore, the E-book tab allows you to scan a file (PDF or image) to a format supported by E-book readers (EPUB, FB2, or HTML).
In the last tab you can scan or convert a file (PDF or image) to other known formats, such as XLS, RTF, TXT, PPTX, or CSV.
You can also select the language of the document (ABBYY FineReader supports several of them), as well as choose color mode of the document (full color, or black and white).
In addition, this software also has a barcode recognition feature. Unfortunately, opening a JPEG with a barcode resulted in a problem - that the incorrect resolution of the source image could not be corrected (and that happened with three different files with barcodes).
A graphic editor is also integrated into this application, so that you can modify any details of an image.
As far as the conversion speed goes, this application is amazing. But CPU and memory resources are heavily used, so older systems may have a problem with the FineReader. Moreover, the price of the full version is a little high for our tastes.
But if you want a conversion tool that can do just about anything, then get the trial of ABBYY FineReader and try it for yourself.
