It is easier to use because of less error than any other program. Even if you are graffiti in the book, you can erase it and edit it is very useful. It is an essential tool for eliminating and digitizing paper books that occupy a lot of space. > > **Cons**: Books published in Korean are often used in other countries that are not used well in other countries. For example, these are symbols such as bumps, double labels, screens, and overlapping. These symbols are used in book titles, papers, and magazine names. It is often very inconvenient because it is often not aware of these things. > > I have been using this product for more than four or five years. Of course, the recognition rate is not as perfect as the Google lens, but when we process a lot of content, there is no such software, so we will continue to subscribe this year. However, there is a regret that the recognition rate of things like brackets will be improved. ----- ### "Excellent PDF editing tool with many features" — 5.0/5 > **Vishnu** | *16 February 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an excellent PDF editing tool that offers you an all-in-one PDF solution in one place.
