Wondershare PDFelement Software plus OCR Plugin Review

Wondershare PDFelement is one of the best PDF management utility software I have used till date, the addiction of the award-winning optical character recognition (OCR) plugin made it a complete PDF workshop for all PDF needs.

No doubt, one should be so confident when dealing with a software company of this repute, we had no doubt when installing the PDF element software as we have had many successes with their products in the past.

Our focus today is on the Wondershare PDFelement software and the OCR Utility plugin integration. These two combination will make life at home and office so easy for you; from PDF conversion, PDF editing to protecting PDF documents, removing protection and adding comments to PDF files, Wondershare PDFelement lets you do PDF editing like a pro.

What we like

• Does what it is meant to do perfectly well.
• The OCR technology integration made the software a beast on the loose.
• We didn’t experience any performance issue with it.

What we didn’t like

• On one or two occasions, we scanned a printed office document (.docx) to PDF and converted to Word (with the OCR technology turned on) without a perfect result. The layout of the letter was scattered and the fonts’ format altered.
• We had to download a larger setup file for the OCR plugin integration. Would have been better if both were bundled as a single solution.
