ABBYY USA Announces PDF Transformer
Complete and Versatile Solution for PDF Conversion
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2004--ABBYY USA, a leader in intelligent document recognition and linguistic technologies, today announced ABBYY PDF Transformer(TM), the most comprehensive solution for converting PDF files into editable file formats.
ABBYY PDF Transformer applies the company's award-winning OCR and document analysis technologies with Adobe(R) PDF Library technology to processes any PDF file, regardless of origin, including PDFs developed from input devices such as multifunction peripherals, digital copiers and scanners, or those produced from applications like Microsoft Word and Excel.
PDF Transformer also converts to more file formats than any other PDF conversion utility with output to Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, HTML, and ASCII text. With each PDF conversion, the resulting file accurately retains the layout and formatting of the original PDF.
"PDF Transformer is unlike other PDF conversion utilities that provide partial solutions and process only application-generated PDFs, but can't handle scanned PDFs," said Dean Tang, president and CEO of ABBYY USA. "Users who need to edit a PDF file shouldn't have to be concerned with how their file was created, or if it contains a text layer. They just want to get to the content and start working, and ABBYY PDF Transformer gives them the power to do so."
