It save my time
I use often use this app for papers in biblical and religious studies. These papers frequently use more than one language, sometimes the doesn't convert these different languages accurately. But the main problem seems to be the biblical languages. Another minor problem is formatting, which not always correspond with the PDF
Like any software, the upgrades are very frequently and I don't have the budget to follow all the upgrades, as I also need to upgrades many other softwares that are vital for my work.

This software is superb, exporting to many useful formats, very easy and highly accurate
Nothing so far, other PDF extractors have failed too often

My experience has been great. Have used for maybe 3 or 4 years without issue.
Easy to use. We are a small road contractor. Many government bids have list of locations and streets within the bid documents which we want to enter into our bidding software. I will typically convert to word or excel for our further use - works great!!!
For my use, I don't have any negative issues, or cons

Easily the best all around pdf convertor. Even current Excel Power Query to import pdf files does not match functionality and ease of customization. YouTube videos repeatedly do not mention problems with complex pdf files and need for careful review of updated updates
Ease of setting up individual conversion procedures
Ability to classify table headers. Sometimes does not achieve full separation of data resulting in need to adjust formatting to fully split data

I do a lot of statistical work and use data frequently: Able2 Extract makes it easy to extract data from PDF documents accurately and quickly: this is exceptionally useful.
The ability to extract data from PDFs, into readily useable spreadsheets or Word documents - an enormous benefit.
Nothing comes to mind - occasionally tables with more complex formatting do not get extracted exactly, but it is usually easy to fix the problem.

It would take me 3-times as long to do a task if I didn't have this program.
The only feature I have used so far is turning a PDF into an excel file. I use it weekly and it saves so much time in my day to day operation.
I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet but give me another 6-months and I may have more input.

We've had a positive experience using the program, it's much more robust and cleaner than when we first began using it over 12 years ago.
This is easy to install, use, and it gets the job done. We use it to convert PDFs to useable word and excel documents we receive from clients.
The formatting can be wonky after the conversion is done, and it takes some fiddling with the settings to get it right.

I was very happy with the product in my previous company, and bought it as soon as I arrived in my current role, as I find it an invaluable tool, particularly for conversion of PDF documents. It is really accurate and easy to use.
It's easy to use and delivers excellent results
I have had no problems with this programme.
That's awesome! We're happy hear you brought Able2Extract with you, Paddy. Thanks for sharing that and letting us know!

Best conversion quality from PDF to Excel. Always get the tables and formats right.
Large PDFs are slow to load and change between pages.

Ease of getting an impression of what the document did
Given a good PDF, the ability to be consistent about how it is treated rather than picking up minor inconsistencies
Inability to be trained or learn. I would like to see more intelligent interactive pre-OCR which allows you to select the elements you want
Thanks for the suggestion and comments, Adrian. We'll pass that OCR feedback on to our developers. They'd be interested in hearing that. Cheers!

In mi opinion this is an essential tool to work with pdfs. You can do a lot of things that will make your life a lot easier. Covert to pdf, change the text on it, search...
Have to think about it, but there are no bugs, and the use is simple, there are no cons for me.

Converting pdf files to other type of documents have never been this easy. You can convert your 100 pages pdf file into excel or word in an instant. The application really saves time and it enables user to be more efficient.
Able2Extract is the best application in converting your pdf files into other type of documents. You can easily access it and the interface is just so easy to understand.
None so far noted. The application is so easy to understand making it a user friendly application. One of the best.

Reporting and analysis
I use it to convert pdf to Excel. It does a nice job converting reports to columnar form in Excel that allows for versatile sorting, subtotaling, etc. Data is an accurate reproduction.
There were some complex reports with random data locations (non-columnar) that did not convert well.
Hi Tom - If you ever need help with the more complex table layouts and data that don't convert properly, you can always get in touch with us. Send in your file to techsupport@investintech.com, if possible, and we'll see what we can do to get the conversion right. Thanks for giving us a heads up. We'd be happy to help.

I get reports in PDF and extract them to excel so I can slice and dice the data.
The ability to customize what and how you extract from PDF's
Sometimes columns are combined that shouldn't be.
Thanks! We'll pass this feedback over to our developers. If you have table samples on which that column merging consistently occurs, please send that to techsupport@investintech.com and they can take a look.

Graet conversion tool.
I really like the ability to convert rom a pdf into Excel and keep nearly all the formatting of the original. There are only a very small number of pccasions when the conversion is less than 100% perfect. It is so much more effective than other conversion software I have used.
Software is great.Procing is a bit misleading in theat it is $X "for life"...this is product life of 2-3 years, not my life!

The ability to pull text from columned documents, where other software has failed, sold me. This is an excellent program.
The main screen has a lot going on and took me a bit to get used to. Other than that, I have no complaints.
