Able2Extract Professional

Pros: V19 - clear attractive user interface, used mainly to convers .pdf to excel - easy and minimal editing required. Upgrade to V21 - So far nothing to like.

Cons: V21- very inaccurate conversion to .docx from scanned pdf files compared to V19. User interface looks very "old" compared to V19. V21 crashed when attempting to change OCR settings

Pros: Of all the pdf converters i tried this was the most accurate with the least amount of having to move things around on excels spread sheet.

Cons: I just bought the new version 21. I have been very happy with 20. I paid for it downloaded it and started it up only to find it was still on version 20. Now getting someone with the tech company seems nearly impossible. I would really love it if someone would reach out and help to get this new version started

Pros: no problem converting to excel

Cons: Does not keep any format from the PDF file

Pros: Is fast and reliable , and great price...............................................................

Cons: Does not support Pages-Numbers and other apple apps......................................................

Pros: I liked the old team better, looks like the company was bought out by a new company.

Cons: The new team couldn't create a template for me, whereas the old team did. I would not recommend to buy this software.

Pros: The conversion and combining of files. I especially need to convert to AutoCAD since I am working in AEC.

Cons: I would love if Able2Extract Pro 20 had the bookmark edit function. I usually combine some PDFs and have to edit the bookmarks to make them in order.

Pros: The product is great and I have used it in previous version for years. It comes in handy when someone lost the original file and you can just create a version that can be edited from a PDF.

Cons: If you hope for customer service...good luck as I have tried contacting them several times and never get a response

Pros: Convert pdf to excel, Modify text or add images to a PDF file, Convert PDF to word and work on the text

Cons: I have nitro pro to modify pdr files, i will be testing able2extract to have a comparative between them

Pros: I would say simple way to purchase in the web page.

Cons: communication with customer service, emails not working or phone numbers not working.

Pros: What I liked most about Able2Extract Professional was that it was visually nice

Cons: What I liked least about Able2Extract Professional was that it was not user friendly

Pros: Works great for converting pdf to dwg files.

Cons: Haven't gotten to use the whole program to it's extent yet

Pros: IT is a great tool for individuals, students and company's who work with PDFs very frequently. It's OCR technology is one of its best features which I mostly use, it is quite helpful when modifying assignment templates that are given to me in PDF format. Another benefit is the software's ability to create PDFs from other file formats, which makes it easy to combine Word and Excel documents into a single PDF that is ideal for turning in assignments. The security tools are also very helpful, especially when it comes to adding digital signatures to documents that require one necessary and adding passwords to secure important PDFs.

Cons: While Able2Extract Professional 20 is great for many groups, its pricing is a major drawback, especially for students. The license to use the software is $199 which is quite expensive. I believe students should at least be discounted as not many people who require this software have $ 199

Pros: The Excel conversion feature stands out and performs better than most other PDF editors.

Cons: Each PDF opens in a new window, which can be frustrating. The software lacks functionality as a PDF viewer and doesn't support opening scanned PDFs

Pros: Efficient conversion to word and excel. However I have not yet used the PowerPoint conversion.

Cons: The formatting is sometimes lost in the conversion to word or Excel.

Pros: Better than the competition. Fexible and easy tu use

Cons: Nothing comes to mind. Works as described.

Pros: My focus is converting complex PDF's to Excel and PowerPoint files. The software has gotten better, more convenient, and faster over the very many years that I have owned their various versions. This latest version that I just got (Able2Extract Pro 19) has really replaced my need to use Acrobat Pro. I also just used their batch mode to go from PDF to excel on twenty-six 32 page files. In minutes it was done- and done accurately.

Cons: Can't think of anything that bugs me. Perhaps more how-to videos.

Pros: THE INTERFACE OF THE PROGRAM WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND EASY TO USE.

Cons: THERE WAS NOT A DROP-DOWN TO CLOSE A FILE, AS I'M USED TO. I DID FIND TO CLOSE THE OPEN FILE JUST HIT THE X-(CLOSE FILE) ON THE SCREEN

Pros: Many steps I normally would go through manually are now automatically done. Other similar tools will either let you split the data manually before extracting, or will fully do it on their own while extracing it on a single click. This is the first time I used a tool that does both, as it pre-split data and then lets me adjust it before extracting. This is a game changer.

Cons: The adjustments before extraction (such as adding a column, removing a table, etc.) could be more fluid. If I need to add 5 new columns, I should not have to click 10 times back and forth, as I currently have to (I click on "Add Column" once, then on the column to add, then on "Add Column" again, then on the second column, etc.)

Pros: I had a client with four months of sales tax records in PDF, some 1,450 pages long. They wanted all those in Excel format with no page breaks, headers, or subtotals for the state auditors. I downloaded Able2Extract and discovered how to set a template. With that established, I had their sales tax records in Excel in less than 36 hours. I was very pleased.

Cons: The initial learning curve can be a little complex, but that can also be the result of the format you are attempting to convert from.

Pros: That it does convert the PDF to a drawing my old AutoCad 2004 can read.

Cons: The detail of bolt holes is not well defined.

Pros: It was easy to set up, and to use. The commands were relatively easy to learn.

Cons: This program failed to perform as promised. It did not transfer lines to my DWG program, it transferred characters to generate the look of lines. When my engineers zoomed in to work with the drawings there was no lines that were workable.

Pros: Smart interface and easy to customize output in various formats

Cons: Inability to recognize header format and align according to table
