OCR seems accurate, but hindered by buggy image pre-processing

I bought this app in hopes of automating the conversion of my scanned documents to searchable PDFs. Using an automator script, I was able to have it monitor a Scans folder and then perform OCR in place on the pdf files. Unfortunately, after the third file I noticed some very bad issues with their image preprocessing. My PDF files were getting cut off (loss of information due to unexpected change in page size), and placed into incorrect orientation. This happened on 2 of the 3 files I tested. In fact, if you run the PDF through twice, ABBYY happily rotates and chops the images AGAIN, making the detection even worse. I tried turning off the image preprocessing, but without it, ABBYY doesn’t seem to even perform OCR.

Really disappointed to have spent so much and got such a buggy product.
