One benefit of having your documents in the cloud is it makes it easy to share them. If you need to send someone a file, instead of sending it as an e-mail attachment (not a great idea) you can generate a link and send that. When you send a file via a shared link, you […]
Continue readingI’ve long been a fan of ABBYY’s OCR software, so I was interested when I saw they’ve released a more fully-featured PDF editing suite.
