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. ----- ### "INCREDIBLY ACCURATE" — 5.0/5 > **BARRY** | *14 November 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: THE INTERFACE OF THE PROGRAM WAS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND EASY TO USE. > > **Cons**: THERE WAS NOT A DROP-DOWN TO CLOSE A FILE, AS I'M USED TO. I DID FIND TO CLOSE THE OPEN FILE JUST HIT THE X-(CLOSE FILE) ON THE SCREEN > > 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. ----- ### "5" — 2.0/5 > **Andrew** | *23 November 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: no problem converting to excel > > **Cons**: Does not keep any format from the PDF file > > Semi ok ----- ### "My thoughts" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *10 July 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features I rely on most is the ability to create consistent templates that can be efficiently be applied across large documents. I enjoy the freedom to skip columns and set collums as a key for row creation. > > **Cons**: Some documents raise error messages and sometimes processes abort at an advanced stage of time input. Sometimes within the same document, certain pages cannot be processed. The product works great when the entire document is aligned properly and has an consistent text overlay. German special characters, maybe in earlier versions where not recognized. A2E is fantastic where it performs well, however, is not yet the only ocr solution required in all instances. > > I have a long standing exposure to this software. I consider it an essential part of my toolbox. I recognize that the company innovates well across its development and custumer service is sound. ----- ### "Able2Extract Is Amazing\!" — 5.0/5 > **Brant** | *30 June 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: Non so far ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/62433/able2extract-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/62433/able2extract-professional) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
