ABBYY FineReader PDF converts scans, photographs and PDFs into editable documents while preserving tables, columns, headers and footnotes. The recognition engine handles 190 languages, mixed-script pages and low-resolution captures, and it rebuilds table structures into native spreadsheet cells rather than plain text blocks.

Beyond conversion the application works as a PDF editor and comparison tool: it can redact passages, sign documents, split and merge files, and align two revisions to highlight textual differences. Hot-folder automation watches directories and converts incoming files using a saved profile.
