Able2Extract Professional vs. LawGro

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 think this is a great tool and offers many features like case management, lead management, and reputation management. So we don't rely on multiple software. If LawGro can also integrate some online payment solution like LawPay, it will help us a lot.

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

• Client Intake forms - It is the best. I was able to create the intakes seamlessly in just minutes.
• Document Assembly - It took us a while to take live our internal templates but now we see a lot of advantages and are able to roll out documents quickly in just a few clicks

• 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

• Searching case notes for specific keywords is not supported. Will be great to see this feature soon.
• Version control on document assembly is a great feature on LawGro but it does not tags documents with version numbers.
• Approval workflow for invoicing is missing. It will be great to review and approve invoices and time entries before sending to the client.

None, except for conversions in Acrobat.

LawGro has deeper analytics and insights on multiple activities like invoices, payments, team member availability etc. They have an in-built client intake forms and document assembly feature which was critical to our practice.

• 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
