Description

With all new UI and OCR technology, FineReader PDF for Mac helps to quickly and reliably extract content within documents with unmatched accuracy and simplify daily work with documents.
FEATURES

• industry-standard PDF/A for reliable long-term archiving,
• PDF/UA to ensure accessibility.

Ratings and Reviews
Scam description
This is just a trial version, not a "free" edition, where buying the app is masked as "in-app purchase". Also "App Privacy" section is lying: they force you to accept privacy policy, and currently in the store it is listed as "Data Not Collected".
Developer Response ,
The app is available for free download. Free download includes a 7-day full-functional Trial, providing full access to all features, including the ability to save and export document conversion results limited to up to 100 pages for the Trial. After the Free Trial expires, to keep using all features of the app you’ll need to activate the Premium version by choosing a preferred paid subscription plan. Alternatively, you can stay on the Free plan, which allows unlimited use of the basic app functionality such as viewing and commenting on PDF files.
