Adobe Acrobat Alternative, OCR Included.

Posted on September 18, 2008 by pete

Smile on My Mac just released version 4.0 of PDF Pen. Perhaps the most needed of the new features is the capability to OCR, something sorely missing from Leopard’s built in Preview application.  Other features include the ability to sign documents and apply stamps. Right now Smile on My Mac is offering PDF Pen 4.0 at a 20% discount off the regular $49.95 price. If anyone has experience with the OCR component, let us know in the comments.

    Preview may not have OCR, but it has a robust search feature — you can search for keywords in a PDF.

    Hey, nice find! I am very likely going to buy this app for our office. The OCR is a major plus.

    PS I have PDF Pen Pro – and I’ve used it for fillable forms for clients in my trademark practice.
