Able2Extract Professional vs. KDAN PDF

Able2Extract is extremely helpful if you have a PDF with text that you want to manipulate. By converting it into another file format that is more conducive to text, you can correct spelling mistakes, copy paragraphs, and remove them or relocate them. Since I had to take spreadsheets and text from a PDF and insert them into a Word document, Able2Extract Professional was the exact tool I needed to avoid simply taking screenshots.

I don't think that the laptop version is good for reading/looking over documents and even though the software works fine with files of large sizes, the interface isn't convenient enough for the reading part. Apart from that, the app is really useful in all kinds of other ways when it comes to editing, splitting/combining and so on. It's also great for highlighting and editing texts, faxing, converting and adding e-signatures.

• Creates editable spreadsheets from Excel documents that have been scanned.
• Allows certain segments of documents to be selected for editing.
• Allows bulk conversion.

• The app is great for signing documents after they are edited - it works well on all devices and e-signatures can be added without any additional tools and you're not attached to a particular device either.
• Editing PDFs is also incredibly easy - there are plenty of tools for that, as well as being able to view all kinds of other documents formats, not just PDFs.
• Sharing documents is also something that is quite easy with PDF Reader - sending out signed contracts and agreements, collaborating on document editing and so on. This tool is quite versatile, in general.

• GUI can always improve, even if it's currently good
• Better how-to instructions to address initial learning curve
• Functionality could be inserted into Adobe Acrobat Pro, potentially merging products

• In my opinion, the tools/features work well, but the interface should be updated in terms of being simpler and more intuitive. All the features are useful, but it isn't always easy to understand how they work - most are easy to figure out, but a few take time.
• Moreover, I'd like to see some kind of uniformity of the features in different versions of the software. The apps vary depending on what OS the app version is designed for, which isn't always convenient. Personally, I use windows at home and Mac at the office, but I work from home too and don't like that I have to keep in mind what features are accessible and which aren't - can be quite confusing.

In general I was satisfied with customer support every time when I needed help, only once there was a small issue - I had to wait a little longer than usually.

None, except for conversions in Acrobat.

The app wasn't great, in my opinion. The interface wasn't as good as PDF Reader, while the features were not that advanced.

• Able2Extract Professional allows me to compile annual reports without having to seek out creators of supplemental material and ask them to rerun their reports in a different file format

• Able2Extract Professional has the speed and ease of use we need to meet our reporting deadlines
