I need to work with numerous images which the app randomly reorders when batch importing. This is a basic feature fail. Where is that page? Go fish.

Odd things for no reason; usually, not able to save a document. This app had no problem.

This is the fifth OCR program I downloaded from App Store today. I had a typed 96 page PDSF document to convert. This is the only program that finally worked. Really great accuracy. I was satisfied enough to buy the Pro version. No complaints so far. Thanks for helping me get my work done.

good

If you want to save time...buy this app!

Very good app and application of Apple's Vision framework.

I tested about a dozen PDF reducers against each other a couple years ago, and at that time PDFify was the clear winner — consistently creating the smallest file sizes with the highest quality. But then came PDFify 3.x, which took away 8 clear and understandable compression options, replacing them with only 3 vague and dumbed-down options — Strong, Medium, Low. Strong Compression *invariably* produces PDFs that are so fuzzy as to be useless. Medium Compression *always* creates files 2-3x bigger than than PDFify 2.7 produced for the same quality result. And Low Compression is *never* worth the trouble, reducing file size by 2%-3% — if you’re lucky. PDFify 2.7 was free, and fantastic. PDFify 3.x is $23. If you pony up, you can create your own compression and quality options, but that requires a lot of experimentation to get right, and it’s something you can also do using Mac’s built-in ColorSync Utility (which creates additional quality options in the Quartz Filter menu when saving-as-PDF in Preview.app). It’s a true pity this once-great app has been ruined.

After getting my Epson GT-S80 scanner to work with my MacBook Pro, I discovered the Epson software didn't have OCR. Tried PDFify and made my scanned PDFs searchable in a few minutes. Stunning performance on big files (100 pages of scanned text) at no cost! Also very nice conversion of Apple mail messages to pretty PDFs!

It’s a free app, so expectations should be low; many on the Mac app store charge quite a bit for OCR functionalty. The scanner works perfectly using the standard MacOS scanner interface. The OCR works fast, but as the developer notes, it may choke on some large files - I tried to OCR a 57 page PDF. What impressed me most was a scan of a rumpled receipt that I did to test other OCR programs. This app recognized far more of it than the other ones I tried. It also did a great job with a short scanned letter. Highly recommend for simple scanning and OCR. Also glad to see this free app doesn’t require Catalina.

If you need a free app to make your PDF searchable, this is the App. Does what it's supposed to do.
