Able2Extract Professional vs. KDAN PDF Reader

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.

In my opinion, the software is good for performing any PDF operations related to annotating, faxing, converting, highlighting, e-signing, including reading (if using mobile version of the application). There is also an ability to edit files, but in my opinion it's not really comfortable to do on a mobile device because of the lack of keyboard.

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

• The ability to fax documents without having to use a fax machine or a scanner is great - saves time and other resources (paper, man hours etc.).
• It's also nice having the feature to convert files right away in the app - and the number of various formats you're able to convert to PDF is quite high.
• The overall multifunctionality of this app is also something worth mentioning since it has features for highlighting text, editing PDFs, creating and filling out forms and much more.

• 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

• Sometimes the text box isn't in the right position you have placed after flattening a copy.

The customer support is pretty fast and friendly.

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
• Our business objective of maintaining consistent branding is achievable through converting PDFs into file formats where we can alter text and swap out logos
• Able2Extract Professional has the speed and ease of use we need to meet our reporting deadlines

• It's been great so far, having all our employees use the PDF Reader when dealing with PDFs - since it's easy to use and is quite multifunctional, we're able to accomplish quite a bit with a single app installed on all of our devices.
• It's great for saving time and adding e-signatures, so we aren't actually using any other e-signature apps.
• It's so easy to use that everyone is on board and using the app for all kinds of PDF tasks daily.
