Overall experience has been amazing. It is one of the best OCRs in the market, better than tesseract and MODI
The OCR capability is amazing, works pretty well.
Not so easy to use, doesn't work well with handwritten documents

For the price, still the best program out there, and much improved in recent years. Great alternative to the terribly priced and overwrought Adobe.
Ease of Use in combining and editing documents. Simple to adjust, remove, merge, and edit text.
OCR function not wholly accurate, but no program is. Image adjustment is slower and has a steep learning curve. I wish you could work on doc image without first running OCR (adds time). Steeper learning curve on OCR. Commenting on docs not as clean/clear to follow along as on other programs.

FineReader PDF appears to be a complete re-write and works well with macOS Monterey 12.4. It is extremely flexible in terms of output options when performing OCR on a PDF.

We didn't have any issues. Everything was there what we normally need it.

I bought Abbyy to use as an OCR for volunteer work but it turned out to be so much more. It’s become my default PDF viewer as well. I love the ability to add and delete pages to any PDF.
I really haven’t found anything I’m not happy with.
