In addition to its superior conversion functionality, the new version
delivers greater flexibility to create and modify PDF documents
according to user needs. It also offers advanced features for secure
editing and archiving PDF files, including the ability to redact
sensitive information in PDF documents, add specific attributes
such as stamps and bates stamps, compress PDFs and save documents to
searchable PDF/A format for long-term preservation.

"Combining powerful technologies with a simple, intuitive interface,
ABBYY PDF Transformer provides unrivalled quality and simplicity of
any operation with PDF documents," commented Sergey Popov, director
of FineReader products department at ABBYY. "It is a versatile and
flexible tool designed for a broad audience ranging from corporate
users, which need to streamline workflow processes and reduce
operating expenses in their organisations, to individual users who
want to quickly and accurately extract information from PDF documents."

Based on ABBYY’s innovative Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
technology, PDF Transformer accurately converts any type of PDF files
into fully formatted, editable documents in 184 languages. It features
full integration with the popular Microsoft Office applications and
allows users to convert and create PDFs directly from within the
applications in one click.

ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0 delivers significant improvements in
conversion accuracy and overall functionality: Intelligent recreation
of document structure, formatting Leveraging ABBYY’s unique ADRT
technology, PDF Transformer 3.0 intelligently recreates logical
structure and formatting of multi-page documents when converting PDF to
Microsoft Word and Excel. PDF Transformer treats a multi-page document
as a single entity rather than a set of separate pages. As a result,
it accurately reproduces native Microsoft Office formatting attributes
such as headers, footers, page numbering, footnotes, captions to
images, fonts and styles and therefore enables users to easily modify
the resulting document. Page numbers are automatically updated if
users add or delete pages from a document. Footnotes and captions are
intelligently linked to their corresponding content. If the content
is moved or deleted, the corresponding footnote or caption will be
moved or deleted accordingly. Fonts and font styles from different
parts of a document are detected and correctly reconstructed in the
resulting document.

Combining, appending documents: The program delivers extended
functionality for creating and modifying PDF documents according to
the user’s specific needs. A user can now easily combine multiple
documents of different formats into one PDF document or append a new
file to an existing PDF without the need to rework the document.

Powerful MRC compression and PDF/A support: ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0
offers new powerful capabilities to optimise PDF documents for file
sharing and archiving. It enables conversion of office documents and
image-only PDF files to searchable PDF/A format for long-term document
preservation. In addition, by leveraging its new MRC compression
technology, users can reduce the size of a PDF up to 10 times to
preserve valuable storage space.

Redaction of sensitive data: Legal firms, government agencies and
departments, financial services companies, healthcare and business
customers can use ABBYY PDF Transformer to reliably redact confidential
information from both text and image layers of a PDF document.

Stamping and bates stamping: With PDF Transformer, a user can easily
mark and identify documents with copyrights or status by applying
customised stamps with any text, position or colour. A new bates
stamping feature also provides identification, protection and
auto-increment numbering of valuable documents.

The widest language support: This new version of ABBYY PDF Transformer
accurately recognises and converts documents in 184 languages,
including a variety of languages with Latin and Cyrillic alphabets,
as well as Greek, Armenian, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai. To
simplify the user experience when working with the application, it
also provides automatic language detection on both single-language
and multilingual documents.

Other new features delivered in PDF Transformer 3.0: * Enhanced table
reconstruction * Improved user interface * Microsoft Office 2007 ready
* Support for PDF 1.7 Bonus for registered users: ABBYY Screenshot
Reader ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0 comes with a bonus application for
registered users – ABBYY Screenshot Reader, an easy-to-use utility
for quickly capturing images and text from the screen. More than
a typical screen capture program, Screenshot Reader can convert
snippets of screenshots into text using ABBYY’s OCR technology. It
is an ideal utility for clipping bits of text for use in flashes,
presentations and other documents.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
