While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders …

Chose ABBYY FineReader
ABBYY FineReader is far more advanced and accurate for OCR-related tasks than Kofax Power PDF. When it comes to working with languages, other than English, ABBYY FineReader has a total advantage in all possible aspects. Editing tools in ABBYY FineReader work exceptionally well …

User Testimonials
ABBYY FineReaderAvePDF
Likelihood to Recommend
The most common scenario is a need to do a high-level OCR-scan of a document followed by heavy editing. I believe that FineReader is in its own league in that regard, and there is no single reason why would someone choose an alternative soft for the purpose.
Another common scenario is a need of detailed comparison of pdf documents. A massive help!

While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders ability to handle hundreds of pages at once felt leaps and bounds above Adobe
