Able2Extract Professional

The best pdf program out there

Fordeler:

easy to convert pdf's to any format and editing and can allow to modify any pdf and create a word document.

Ulemper:

program is hard to read on high resolution displays. So it is ok on a 1920x1080 display , but on a 4k display you need good eyes

Able2Extract Is Amazing!

Fordeler:

I love that it is customizable and that I can accurately convert PDF's to CSV based on the template that I am able to make. This is by far the best converter on the market.

Ulemper:

Non so far

Poor product and incompatible with MacOS

Kommentarer: Very poor experience. I purchased version 19 on 9 Dec 23. MacOS version was not available. I emailed [sensitive content hidden] to complain that I parted with my money but the product was unavailable. He confirmed that their team were working on the issue and it would be available soon. It's now 3 Jan 24 and since then he has not replied to me email and I still don't have/can use the product I paid for. Very unpleasant experience and would not recommend this company or product to anyone I know.

Fordeler:

There is nothing to like - Able2Extract took my hard earned money and didn't provide the product I paid for.

Ulemper:

Don't like being defrauded/ignored ... No will to correct their poor service or treatment of client.

Overall, it's a Useful Product

Kommentarer: It took some effort to figure out, but mostly does what we need.

Fordeler:

It works well to convert raster drawings to vectors. I convert manual drawings to AutoCAD format and then copy into MicroStation for editing.

Ulemper:

It would be nice if it could recognize and convert text into more recognized fonts. More features could be added, but to be fair I don't use it to its full capacity.

Great PDF to Excel Converter

Fordeler:

This produces great conversations to excel from a pdf for bank statements.

Ulemper:

The UI is antiquated and reminiscent of 1990s software freeware. I had an immediate negative reaction to the software when it loaded and spent time looking for a better software because I assumed this software couldn't compare against more modern options.

Review

Fordeler:

Speed and comprehensive approach to any PDF documents.

Ulemper:

Why does it always ask to save an office documents before it's openned in MS Office.

Useful helper.

Fordeler:

Easy to use. Very useful program. We use every day in company.

Ulemper:

I only know the benefits. Maybe I'll discover flaws over time.

Use of Able2Extract Professional Superior to other offerings

Kommentarer: Very good product but constantly need to contact support regarding updates - this needs to be improved. Have commented on this in previous reviews but no measurable improvement.

Fordeler:

Smart interface and easy to customize output in various formats

Ulemper:

Inability to recognize header format and align according to table

Boen Review

Kommentarer: With each conversion I have to adjust the scale to get accurate dimensional measurements.

Fordeler:

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

Ulemper:

The detail of bolt holes is not well defined.

Handy Software

Fordeler:

AutoCAD Conversion. AutoCAD converts PDF but I prefer this software.

Ulemper:

The price went up. I have to edit and clean up the files after converting but that's OK.

Performs Better than Adobe Acrobat PDF Conversion to Excel

Kommentarer: Excellent!!

Fordeler:

In my job, converting pdf to Excel is critical. This license provides me the capability of doing that work with minimal conversion issues. The only problem I had was converting a pdf file that had handwriting on it.

Ulemper:

Need to be able to convert to newer version of Excel than Excel 2007

Software overall is great - Customer service? What is that? Horrible.

Kommentarer: See above.

Fordeler:

It works well when I need it to do a job...assuming it I can launch it.

Ulemper:

Upgraded multiple times and this last one I was stuck unable to use because of license issues. Two days now and zero response - NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Breaking Password protected documents

Kommentarer: Drafting contracts

Fordeler:

Broke AIA Contract Software password lock

Able2Extract - Best App to convert your PDFs

Kommentarer: 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.

Fordeler:

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.

Ulemper:

None so far noted. The application is so easy to understand making it a user friendly application. One of the best.

Long time and happy user

Kommentarer: Over the years I use the pdf to word or excel programs. It saves time, rather than retyping or getting a word or excel original. I also create fillable pdf forms, rather than handwriting in the information.

Fordeler:

The ability to convert docs from pdf and to create fillable pdf forms are two easy to use features.

Ulemper:

Once converted to word the word doc contains format codes that need to be adjusted. It would be better to convert to WordPerfect since it easier in WordPerfect to change format codes.

overall

Kommentarer: I am happy with it until today. Hope I have no chance to replace it!

Fordeler:

no comment. The tool is alright. Get it can work faster

Ulemper:

nothing. Improve and cost less. improve the OCR the size of the words on the tabs can be bigger. Any zoom tools, or size settings?

Ability to access PDF content to create Excel workbooks and Word documents

Kommentarer: We create Excel workbooks for gain/loss input in tax software and Word documents for deeds and estate planning work

Fordeler:

Ease of use in creating new documents from PDFs

Ulemper:

Sometimes the software guesses wrong about words so that review is required and sometimes formatting is off. Having a very clean PDF helps

Would not recommend personally

Fordeler:

It has the ability to transfer data into excel or PDF form, so it's convenient at times

Ulemper:

Not very accurate or organized. Even after extracting info, a lot is required to fix and edit it.

Able2extract for geologists

Kommentarer: Huge saving in obtaining data from previous exploration, this can involve many years of data and we were able to convert it for use in our analysis.

Fordeler:

ability to convert data and detailed descriptions to Excel and Word with a high success rate We deal with a lot of historic data that we scan to PDF and then convert for our use. To hand type the huge amounts of data would be expensive, by scanning and converting it is relatively simple to do. Able2extract drag and drop and selection capability works really well.

Ulemper:

For our purposes it works very well and havent identified any Cons

Indespensible Utility

Kommentarer: Version 12 is just another great release of a very strong utility. This has been my go-to utility for extracting data from PDFs to load into SQL databases and Excel sheets. I've been a user since 2006 and I can not imagine going back to OCR and manual correction.

Fordeler:

This software is very able to use and for the vast majority of the time, the simple automatic settings work flawlessly. For those other times, the simple interface lets you tweak the settings.

Ulemper:

Version 12 changed the extract to Excel algorithm which added a empty column to one of my financial reports. It didn't change the report other than to have an empty column that must be deleted before I can copy and paste into my financial model. This is not a big deal, just the only con I can think of.

Fantastic Tool For Converting PDF To CAD

Kommentarer: On a daily basis I get pdf documents from clients, some have fallen out with their architects so we cant get the raw CAD File to annotate or edit. Able2Extract is ABLE to EXTRACT any pdf even scanned ones. Brilliant!

Fordeler:

Its quite intuitive, easy to use and fast

Ulemper:

I cant think of ANYTHING! It does everything I have asked of it and the new version is fast.

Absolutely the best!

Kommentarer: Excellent! I already recommend to everyone. I've also shown my wife and 12 yr old daughter how to use it to hep me.

Fordeler:

Better than other similar products I've tried in accurately converting PDFs to Word or Excel. When I've had questions, staff have ALWAYS resolved my issues promptly and professionally, and even converted difficult docs for me!

Ulemper:

Can't think of anything. Really can't think of anything. Nothing coming to mind yet.

Great product

Kommentarer: Great product, used for 10 years

Fordeler:

The extraction algorithm is second to none. Beautiful column separation, ability to save extraction templates. Very easy.

Ulemper:

Price. The menu icons on my screen are very small.

Happy End User

Kommentarer: Able2Extract has boosted my effectiveness in producing documents and presentations for clients and prospects.

Fordeler:

It provides a way to use pdf files for alternative purposes

Ulemper:

Detailed customization features take some time to figure out how to use.

Stable and reliable

Fordeler:

Clean import and organization into excel spreadsheet easy to use and no hassle, stable product

Ulemper:

ability to pool/merge multiple pdf files prior to import
