Document conversion
Convert image/PDF to searchable PDF, PDF/A
Advanced PDF conversion features reduce the size of scanned images and PDFs up to 10 times, while preserving the visual quality via powerful MRC compression technology and support of searchable PDF and PDF/A formats.
Convert image/PDF to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint
ABBYY’s Advanced Document Recognition Technology (ADRT) offers an unrivaled capability to understand and recreate the structure and layout of the original document, while converting the scanned image or PDF version of the document into its original editable Microsoft Office format.
