I must get used to it to give a fair verdict but my first impression of Finereader 9 is a big disappointment.
Djvu files are not supported neither as input nor as output.
Saving of blocks (text and images) is possible for the selected page only (I will still have to use my external script to get rid of black lines and blobs for all the pages).
Cropping (added hastily in version 8) has not improved. Small window, rectangle with 4 lines that have to be adjusted separately (can't they learn from Picasa or Irfanview? - just one mouse movement), batch cropping does not take into account odd or even pages, preview is limited only to the selected page.
Processing window (where current processing info is displayed) cannot be put to background, so the Finereader window cannot be reduced to an icon in Windows menu bar.
But the most annoying thing is that it doesn't work most of the time. Opening a file takes so long that I try to cancel the operation, which again takes so long that I use Ctrl-Alt-Del. Is it just me? 512 KB of memory and 2.8 GHz is not enough? I attach a screenshot of an error message telling me of a timeout regarding some server. Is Finereader trying to connect to some server (on the net?) that is not responding and that halts the operation?
I hope that in a week or so I will find time to contact Finereader support to get a feedback from them. But for now, I use my old Finereader 8.
