PDF Conversion Utility
Convert Scanned PDF Images to Searchable PDF Files. Most scanners or multifunctiondevices, such as digital copiers, scan documents into  image-only PDF formats,which are not searchable. ABBYY PDF Transformer 2.0 helps to convert such imagesinto searchable PDF format in one step. By adding a text layer to image only PDFfiles this smart program makes them accessible for key word searching.
The PDF conversion component of the software allows quick and easy conversion of alltypes of PDF files (from image only PDFs to files with special encoded fonts orcomplex formatting) to a variety of editable formats including Microsoft Word,Excel, TXT, and HTML, allowing users to reuse the information or make changes.
The productÂ's intuitive, viewer-style interface is flexible and easy to use. It isinstructive and provides the ability to choose the level of control needed in thePDF conversion process, depending on user preferences, file formatting complexity,or its use purposes. Users may look through a PDF file before converting it andchange the settings if necessary. Users can also select a specific page or zonewithin the PDF file to process and set up the level of layout retention needed. PDFConversion options are easily accessible, without requiring navigation through manydifferent windows and dialog boxes to select conversion requirements.
PDF Transformer 2.0 Pro delivers superior accuracy with PDF file conversion usingits dual-option approach.When processing PDF files, the utility determines if thetext is embedded, examines the integrity of the text layer and makes a decision toextract the text or apply optical character recognition (OCR). Each area is examinedindividually, and the most appropriate method is applied to each area of thedocument to achieve the best possible results.
When processing PDF files, the utility captures and re-creates internal links andhyperlinks as well as retains document properties including titles, subject, authorand key words and saves this information in Microsoft Word, Excel, HTML andsearchable PDF formats.
