THE GOOD
Accurately scans and converts almost any document or PDF file into an editable text file; preserves most original formatting and layouts.

THE BAD

THE BOTTOM LINE
FineReader 6.0 Professional works leaps and bounds better than prior versions. Business users will get their money's worth from this reasonably priced OCR powerhouse.
