The Perfect Conversion Utility for All Your PDFs: ABBYY PDF Transformer

By Alan Pearlman
September 28, 2004

For many of today's leading law firms PDF (Portable Document Format) files are the way to send their documents over the Internet, thus keeping a handle on others not changing the work product from what was sent! But many times, while there is a need to keep the formatting, as well as the layout and look of a document, there also may come a time when the need exists to convert a PDF file into an editable file format.

Many times I have found the necessity to be able to unlock and reposition and/or repurposing information from a PDF file. The question is how do we achieve that goal? If you remember, a few months ago I wrote about a great OCR program from ABBYY called FineReader OCR 7.0, well the same people at ABBYY have come up with a new and very worthwhile PDF program called ABBYY PDF Transformer.
