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:

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

Reasons for choosing Able2Extract Professional

I liked the small size and I did not feel like spending vast amounts of money

Upgrade to 21 a disappointment

V19 has been very useful and I was looking forward to getting an even better experience (as promised) by upgrading to V21. V21 so far a huge disappointment - submitted a complaint to customer service and after 2 days I've not re3ceived a response

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

Reasons for choosing Able2Extract Professional

It sometimes worked better than pdf but not always . I kept googling and checking revies and purchasing all of the metioned software until I found able 2 extract

Reasons for switching to Able2Extract Professional

A lot more work involved to get to an excell sheet that looked right and was usable

Pros:

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

I chose Able2Extract Professional because of its superior Excel conversion capabilities, which are more accurate and efficient compared to other PDF editors I’ve used.

INCREDIBLY ACCURATE

THE PROGRAM EXPORTED DATA TO EXCEL BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PROGRAM I HAVE EVER USED OR TRIED. THE LAYOUT AND THE NUMBERS TRANSFERRED WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS AS COMPARED TO THE OTHER MAJOR COMPETITORS' PDF PROGRAMS, WHICH DISTORTED THE TEXT OR COMBINED TEXT AND NUMBERS TOGETHER CREATING LONGER REVIEW AND FIX TIME.
