New Features

ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0 takes an intelligent approach to PDF conversion and with its core technology enhancements, offers highest conversion quality and accuracy. The new version supports ABBYY’s unique ADRT (Adaptive Document Recognition Technology) to intelligently reproduce structure and formatting of multipage documents.

Additionally, with its new capabilities for PDF protection and identification and powerful PDF compression technology, the new version enables users to readily prepare documents for archiving and sharing.

Intelligent Re-creation of Document Formatting across Multiple Pages

PDF Transformer 3.0 supports ABBYY’s innovative Adaptive Document Recognition Technology (ADRT) which intelligently re-creates logical structure of documents across multiple pages and outputs PDF files in native Microsoft Word or Excel formatting. With ADRT, the application accurately reproduces headers, footers, page numbering, footnotes, fonts, font styles, long tables, and captions to images across all pages of a document. Should any changes be applied to number of pages, footnotes or captions, they will be reflected at once within the entire multipage document.
