1 The quality of captured pieces is not always perfect. FineReader is great at improving scans and pictures and it takes only a few clicks to achieve the desired result. Jennifer Dacay Jennifer Dacay USA Math teacher in public elementary and middle school Public school Yes, of course. This is part of my work: I regularly prepare materials for my students. Daily I have lots of materials that I get from different printed resources, for example, from different course books or old handouts. I regularly scan them with my scanner and then reorder the pieces making a new file. For every lesson I prepare materials for my pupils in a PDF for handouts using different paper-based and digital resources. As I am making a kind of compilation from different files not always obtained or scanned by myself and the quality of captured pieces is not always perfect. FineReader is great at improving scans and pictures and it takes only a few clicks to achieve the desired result. Then I save the resulted materials to PDF. FineReader helps me to save a huge amount of time! Definitely PDF. First of all, because it can t be edited. Moreover, this format is very convenient as everyone can open and view it in the same layout on any device. Working with PDFs makes collaborating with colleagues very convenient.

2 In our business, time really matters and FineReader helps us to always be on time! Florian Evans Florian Evans Germany Business owner, runs a logistics company 2 major partners and 12 employees In our company we have paperless document processing, because all the logistics papers, invoices, waybills and other docs are scanned. 2-5 times a day. I scan dozens of documents daily. In our company all logistic documents need to be searchable for legal reasons. This is a highly regulated industry where we need to have access to documents and their content all the time. The business is one of very high expenses and very narrow margins. For example, one of the partners is on the road all the time, so access to documents on the go is required. Therefore, FineReader is an essential tool for primarily scanning all the incoming documents and then converting them into a searchable format such as a searchable PDF or Microsoft Word document. Afterwards, we can easily search, quote and reuse the necessary part of the document! In our business, time really matters and FineReader helps us to always be on time! My favorite format is searchable PDF because it looks 100% the same as the original document and also allows you to perform searches as you can do in MS Word.

3 At my work all the documents end up as PDFs. Dan Hollyday Dan Hollyday UK Financial consultant, self-employed Works all over the world I run a paperless or printless office, and I work mainly with financial documents from my clients. Quite often, maybe 3-5 times per week. In my work, all the documents end up as PDFs: paper documents are scanned to PDF, sometimes the images of documents are saved with a mobile device and stored as PDFs, incoming MS Office documents are converted to PDFs as well. I got FineReader with my multi-function printer many years ago and hadn t heard of it before. I was interested to see what I got with the hardware, so I googled FineReader and what it was capable of. Online I discovered it was recommended software capable of generating PDF files and scanning to PDF. Since then, FineReader has never let me down. If a PDF needs editing, I convert it to MS Word, make changes and save it to PDF. FineReader helps me a lot in all these converting procedures. Definitely PDF. It is my chosen save format as it can be easily opened and everyone knows how to use it. Also, because it is regarded as a kind of folder where all the info of different kind could be opened in one space: pages from Excel tables, texts and scans. An example of such a container are Invoices that are usually sent to clients together with supporting expense documents in a single PDF file.

4 For me it s very important to keep all my work documents as searchable PDFs. That s why all incoming documents are OCRed with FineReader. James Darlington James Darlington USA Attorney Business contracts, real estate, deals with regulatory bodies Yes, of course. These may include scans like lease agreements, real estate contracts, tax forms and many others. Several times a day. Incoming documents could be PDFs, s, all kinds of MS Office documents and paper documents. In roughly equal proportions. Naturally, all hard copies are scanned. For me it s very important to keep all my work documents as searchable PDFs. That s why all incoming documents are OCRed with FineReader to PDF and stored online. Very often I also scan many documents at a time and then split the resulting PDF into multiple documents. FineReader is perfect for this. Generally speaking, all our documents are run through FineReader. I personally prefer searchable PDFs, but in my field not everybody prefers this format. For example, courts usually send and request hard copies. Therefore, for me, working easily with both types of documents and converting them is vital.

5 My husband needs to have a digital copy of every document in his library, and each copy needs to be as close as possible to the original. Marissa Warthman Marissa Warthman UK Home user, helps her husband I don t personally work with documents, at least not as often as my husband does he teaches history at a college and he always use different paper resources such as magazines to prepare materials and to build his own knowledge base. He likes to have lots of papers and articles around him. I am the technical whiz in our family who is responsible for making a personal digital library of my husband materials, because it s much easier to keep an archive that you can search through in a digital format. Several times a month I guess. All of the documents that are going to be put in our history library are scanned. My husband needs to have a digital copy of every document in his library, and each copy needs to be as close as possible to the original and its content must be searchable. FineReader is an essential tool in our family for digitizing. It is very important that the digital copy looks exactly like the original. I normally scan black and white instead of color because it s faster and requires less memory to store. PDF, of course. Because this format retains the layout of the paper document for quoting in my husband s research and allows you to easily change both the document structure and page content itself.
