So lets first understand what we get in the package of Abbyy Flexicapture ISO setup. After installing Abbyy on the system we get a list of application as given in image:

Now let's understand each application one by one in detail:

1. Abbyy FlexiLayout Studio: FlexiLayout Studio is a software application that allows you to create formalized descriptions of documents with the variable layouts ( you can call it semi-structured documents). In FlexiLayout we define the region of elements that we want to capture for data extraction. FlexiLayout is used for defining the region for semi-structured documents such as Invoice, order forms, and many others in which form fields are not structured. The created FlexiLayout is then used by document processing applications to capture data from documents which they are defined. FlexiLayout is built on Abbyy's groundbreaking IPA technology which imitates the way living being recognize objects. Semi-structured documents are different from fixed documents in that the exact location of the fields on such documents is not known in advance. Abbyy's FlexiLayout technology allows you to create formalized descriptions that tell the data capture program how and where to find particular fields.

2. Abbyy FormDesigner: Abbyy FormDesigner is a software application for creating machine-readable forms that will be processed using Abbyy Flexicapture, a form processing application. Form design is an important stage of form creation, because all the other stages - scanning, verification, and export - depend on the "correctness" of the initial forms and its suitability for machine processing. The program has a straightforward user-friendly interface and includes easy-to-use yet powerful tools for creating standard elements commonly found on machine-readable forms. The application allows you to create black and white as well as color dropout forms.
3. License Manager: The License manager utility is used to manage protection keys and to gather information about the status of Abbyy FlexiCapture licenses. License Manager is used to viewing license usage statistics for a selected license, select the corresponding item in the Service menu.
4. Project Setup Station: The Project Setup Station is the station where projects are created, set up, and debugged. In Project setup station we can extract data from image and PDF. Here we import .AFL extension file from Abbyy FlexiLayout and create a Document definition as per our need. In Project Setup Station we can create rule for each field which we want to extract from PDF and image files. Project Setup Station lets us create a Batch of the file as per their classification detail. To automate the process of adding images, image import profiles can be created on the Project Setup Station.  Two types of Profile are available: 1) involving the use of a scanner and other 2) involving the use of a Hot Folder. A Scanner profile may be used to debug the project. A Hot Folder profile imports images automatically on the Processing Station. A Scanner profile is only available on the Project Setup Station.
