easy to use and constantly improving

Reviewed 5 years ago

It save my time

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Construction Bid Resource

Reviewed 8 months ago

My experience has been great. Have used for maybe 3 or 4 years without issue.

Pros

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!!!

Cons

For my use, I don't have any negative issues, or cons

First class convertor for pdf files

Reviewed 8 months ago

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

Pros

Ease of setting up individual conversion procedures

Cons

Ability to classify table headers. Sometimes does not achieve full separation of data resulting in need to adjust formatting to fully split data

A must for economists

Reviewed a year ago

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.

Pros

The ability to extract data from PDFs, into readily useable spreadsheets or Word documents - an enormous benefit.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind - occasionally tables with more complex formatting do not get extracted exactly, but it is usually easy to fix the problem.

So happy I found Able2Extract!

Reviewed 10 months ago

It would take me 3-times as long to do a task if I didn't have this program.

Pros

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.

Cons

I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet but give me another 6-months and I may have more input.

Easy to use product does the job

Reviewed a year ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

The formatting can be wonky after the conversion is done, and it takes some fiddling with the settings to get it right.

Reliable and consistent OCR with a simple interface and good ability to batch process

Reviewed 5 years ago

Ease of getting an impression of what the document did

Pros

Given a good PDF, the ability to be consistent about how it is treated rather than picking up minor inconsistencies

Cons

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

Vendor response

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!

PDF to Excel Conversion

Reviewed 2 years ago

Reporting and analysis

Pros

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.

Cons

There were some complex reports with random data locations (non-columnar) that did not convert well.

Vendor response

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.

The best converter from pdfs I have found

Reviewed 4 months ago

Graet conversion tool.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
