ABBYY Hello,
In regards to your question above, no the software does not need an active online connection to operate. It resides on your computer hard drive. Nor do you need to be logged into an account of any form. This is a standalone, desktop application.

_*_ @ABBYY iAM, Thank you for your answer.

I do have two other questions.
1. Since it does not require online connection I figured I would download and test the program. However, it requires me to give up my full name, email address, and country of residence.

Is it possible to have a direct link to the trial to give the program a go without having to give up personal information just to try your software?

2 The "Fine Print" states, "Installing a new version may overwrite the existing version and invalidate your license key." I am thinking if purchased this program will work indefinitely for the version purchased (with all minor updates), correct?

Thank you again.

ABBYY Hello again,

#1: We do require complete contact information in exchange for downloading the trial. However, once you have downloaded the trial, you can opt-out of receiving any additional information from ABBYY (the new PII and privacy policies are strictly enforced and abided by here).

#2: If you use the trial version of the software and then decide to purchase a activation key will be provided to you via email. So, you install only once. Installing a new version the same computer usually refers to upgrading an existing version. When you install an upgrade version, you receive a new activation key which invalidates your previous version.

The software is licensed to one individual and can be used on two computers (laptop and desktop). Both copies cannot be used simultaneously.

Hopefully this answers all of your questions.

Regards,
Angel Brown

Doug Atkinson I'm just a user - not affiliated with the company. Abbyysoft has a great OCR (optical character reader) engine for converting images to text, very close to Adobe's at a much lower cost. I've used an older version of PDF Transformer and it works very well. Where I work now is licensed for Adobe, so I don't have a need to upgrade right now, but wanted to plug the product as a good one. In my experience, Abbyy does not pound you with e-mails, and you do get to learn about new sales, promotions, and usage tips.
I don't believe there is a Mac version.

ABBYY Dear

Doug Atkinson,

Thank you for responding to the previous customer query and for your positive feedback on ABBYY and PDF Transformer.

You are correct, PDF Transformer+ is an windows only product; no MAC version at this time.

Mike B I have some PDF documents that use "ligatures" so that certain letter combinations (mainly "fi" , but I think some other ones) use a single special character in the PDF document. It looks fine when reading or printing the document, but it creates a problem when searching or copy/pasting.

Will ABBYY PDF Transformer+ allow me to replace those special ligatures with the normal "fi" characters?

VLM Oh, and are comments generic, in the sense that any application that is Adobe-Reader-compatible can read and edit them?

VLM How many documents will this application remember from one shutdown to the next relaunch?

Also, I have a question about searching, somewhat similar to the ligatures question asked some time ago. In many documents, words are highlighted at end of line. This can be a search nightmare, as split words are not found by the search feature. Does this product offer any resolution to this problem?

MojoMan Hair pulling time....

How do you change scanners ? The prog opens a dialog to my MFC all-in-one but I also have a dedicated document scanner which I want to use. I see no configuration option (or even any settings options) to change the scanner to the one I wish to use.

(I registered on your website and tried to submit a ticket but your system won't allow anyone to submit a ticket without s serial number - so I'm dead in the water as far as support from your site).

Thanks for your help.

MojoMan OK.... I found out a few things.

If I open an existing document it brings up the full command bar / menu which gets access to settings. I don't see any way to get to the full program menu from the start page without opening or creating another document (from a source other than the scanner) first.

Now... went to preferences and selected the scanner I wish to use and it scans but black and white are inverted. Changed to the WIA driver and it worked but it takes a lot longer to scan. I could not get the scans using the regular TWAIN driver to come out correctly regardless of the settings... and I do not see an option to open the scanner dialog pre-scan (or even a way to access the dialog to change the TWAIN settings)

I guess I'm expecting too much, but I have been really looking for a good solution for getting a lot of paper docs archived and most so called document managers fall short on the scanning end or are completely overkill for simply getting stuff scanned and into folders.

MojoMan BTW... I don't mean my comments to be critical at all. This seemed to be the only way to get questions answered. It appears that PDF Transformer does a really good job of image enhancement... in that the quality of the scans is very good. This is one area missing or weak in many scanning programs. Most that I have tried which do a credible job take too much processing time.

Cary Adams @Martin Yanski ... Are you seeking to embed a PDF within a PDF? If so, I don't think that is possible. You can however import a PDF into a PDF with this program.

B Josephs I'm surprised there isn't more feedback - this is a great deal. I've used the software since the earlier (not plus) version and is one of the best OCR/conversion tools I've tried - especially for languages other than English. It's updated frequently. The company doesn't bombard you with emails. In short - great software for a great price.
Thanks ABBYY and BDJ!

Are future upgrades included?

Brent Carey @Mike Murphy, here's the answer to your question, as listed in the "Fine Print" section:

Upgrades to future versions of the software will require additional payment. Installing a new version may overwrite the existing version and invalidate your license key.

Mike Murphy I'll stick with Nitro Pro then. At least you get updates until they come out with a new version.

ABBYY Dear &Mike Murphy,

Inline updates are free and can be downloaded by clicking "check updates" from within the product. upgrades, however are not free; three is a nominal charge.

Also, the product comes with a two-user license and can be installed on two computers (work/home or desktop/laptop) registered to the same user.

I hope this answers your questions.

CFGuy This program looks very good, and ABBYY has an outstanding reputation for quality software, and good customer service- I have always been a fan! Question about Licensing/Activation/EULA - the "Fine Print" section does not mention how thie software is "licensed"- per "user" or per "computer". Can it only be installed on 1 computer, or can it be installed on a user's desktop and laptop, but just not used at the same time? Also, does the program need to be "activated", and if so, is it a "software" or "hardware with footprint" activation (this can be important for people who upgrade their systems frequently, like me). Additionally, if the user/licensee buys a new computer (to replace an older model), can the program's license be "transferred" to the new computer, and what is the process involved for this- "deactivation" on old computer, call or email to customer support … Sorry for all of the technical questions, and thanks, in advance, for addressing them. -CFGuy.

CFGuy One additional program functionality question. I see that this program allows a user to create a PDF file, and it looks like the program also allows a user to combine multiple PDF pages together (perhaps from even different sources) to form a new, single PDF document, as well as also allowing the user to add bookmarks to a PDF document. My question is about page numbering/re-numbering (and I don't just mean allowing one to automatically place a page number on the page of a PDF via a header or footer function). I have been looking for PDF program (other than the very expensive, but highly functional "Adobe Acrobat" program) that will allow a user to "re-name a page number, such as making the title page of a document page "I" (instead of "1"), or the table of contents pages "ii", "iii", and "iv", and then allowing them to actually show up in a PDF program's page number box as that page (e.g. "i"), and not just as a label on the page footer as "I", but showing up in the PDF reader's page number box as "1". Will this program allow this capability? Other than expensive programs such as "Acrobat" (that I know form my online research has this capability), I have not been successful in finding any other PDF program that has this capability. Does "PDF Transformer+" have this capability, and if not, does the ABBYY representative have any suggestions about this? Thanks, in advance, for your help. -CFGuy

Preston Mitchell QUESTIONS: Can the user add a 'YouTube' video to a PDF document (as I can do with Pro versions of Acrobat 9 or X)?
ABBYY seems to be a reasonable alternative to Acrobat? But why is it better than the leading 'Acrobat' alternative by Nuance, known as Power PDF Standard?

Gr3gw While Transformer and Fine Print have different 'sales-pitch' descriptions, functionally, I can't see a difference. Given time is short, can you briefly state what the difference is between Transformer and Fine Print, please.

ABBYY PDFT is a PDF conversion tool (mainly for PDF format conversion). FineReader is the fully loaded OCR software (with all the features and setting options).

Preston Mitchell @ ABBYY iAm -- Thank you for the clarification. So, Transformer is really just a converter...which means it is not a substitute for Acrobat or Nuance Power PDF. But Fine Reader is an alternative to Acrobat or Nuance?

Cary Adams I purchased this here at BDJ, and am well satisfied.

It's been quite some time since this program was updated, and I suspect it is no longer under development.

Its PDF to DOC conversion is the better of the various pdf tools I have. While you can manipulate and OCR PDFs in various ways, you cannot edit the PDF's text directly, with the same text flow and font of the original document. It also includes a "print to pdf" add-on (by PDF X-Change).

My only quibble is that it installs a licensing service which runs 24/7 whether the program is in use or not. ABBYY does this individually for all their programs.That seems like useless overhead on my system when my program use may be 30 minutes weekly.
