Create Searchable and Editable Documents
Turn paper records, scans, and image-based documents into files that are easier to search, archive, and reuse. Create searchable PDFs for document storage or editable copies for office work.
Save recognized content as office documents, images, web pages, plain text, or e-books depending on the next step in the workflow. Document structure such as paragraphs and tables can be retained during conversion.
Digitize Scans with OCR
Open a scan, image, or PDF in the OCR Editor and let FineReader analyze areas such as text, pictures, tables, and barcodes. Choose recognition languages and image-processing settings to match the source document.
Review recognition results and uncertain characters before saving when accuracy is important. FineReader PDF 16 supports 201 OCR languages, including multilingual document recognition.
Convert Files for Office and Archive Workflows
Work with PDF and common image formats, then save recognized content to formats including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, RTF, TXT, CSV, ODT, EPUB, FB2, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. PDF output can also be created for archival and accessibility workflows, including PDF/A and PDF/UA.
