“versatile OCR that delivers”
Pros
Being able to choose specific OCR zones and export to multiple file formats is a huge plus. It's one of the rare scan/OCR tools that covers everything I need in one product.
Cons
I've heard it might be getting discontinued and I really hope that's not true. Please don't discontinue this product.

“clean layout and handy dashboard”
Pros
The interface in it Elite looks polished and visually appealing. Quick-access tools are a big plus and the dashboard makes conversions and related tasks very convenient to manage. The overall layout also feels well organized which I really appreciate.
Cons
One thing that needs work is the speed when opening it files. They tend to load slowly, with about 30 to 40 seconds of lag so the software still needs better optimization to feel completely smooth while working.

“just delivers every time!!”
Pros
Every part of it simply works exactly the way I need it to. I never second-guess the results because it consistently delivers what I expect, nothing missing, nothing overcomplicated. I'm completely confident using it and I just want that same level of performance to keep going.
Cons
I can't come up with anything negative to say. Readies PDF has been doing its job flawlessly for me and everything has been great enough that I really can't point to any weak spot or least favorite part.

“powerful OCR and handy PDF tools”
Pros
Really comprehensive overall, with powerful OCR and very practical PDF features. I use it to put together documents from different files and it handles that very well. The conversion to an editable Word file has also been very useful for me.
Cons
Nothing major to complain about, maybe it takes a little time to start up but it still stays perfectly acceptable. It just doesn't offer a way to create PDF forms.

“Missing features!!”
Pros
It's useful for converting spreadsheets and text documents to PDF and back again. You can also merge multiple PDF files into one and rearrange pages inside PDFs which comes in handy quite often.
Cons
One thing I'm missing is the option to draw directly in a PDF, like adding an arrow or making part of the text stand out more clearly. The included manual doesn't mention that feature anywhere either.

“strong OCR but dated layout”
Pros
When it comes to editing and creating PDF files, this software does a good job and includes plenty of useful features that help save time and effort. One of the biggest advantages is the OCR tool especially since it supports more languages than many other OCR tools out there.
Cons
It is still not the best PDF editor available. The user interface could be much better because it does not feel professionally organized. I also hope they improve the OCR accuracy for certain languages especially Arabic.

“OCR results need improvement”
Pros
As a PDF editor and manager, this software does a decent job even if it's not the top option out there. It comes with some useful features especially OCR which supports more languages than most other OCR tools I've seen. Another advantage is the price, since it costs less than many competing products.
Cons
Downside is the OCR accuracy. Even though it supports a wide range of languages, the results it produces are often not very accurate which hurts its overall usefulness.

“support needs improvement”
Pros
Everything about the software has been excellent, aside from the support service.
