Do there exists a single package that fulfills our need? The answer is a big "YES". Of course there is one of the best application out there that you seek for your work and it is Able2Extract PDF Converter 9.

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide are using their flagship PDF product Able2Extract. I am one of them.

Why to Choose Able2Extract 9? 
  1. With a revamped and modernized GUI this application has become more and more better in its functionality.
  2. It is easy to edit a PDF file instead of using online PDF converter.
  3. It provides high quality conversion facility with editable facility.
  4. It has options to convert PDF to popular Microsoft Office files such as formatted MS Excel spreadsheets, editable MS Word documents, Publisher files, and PowerPoint presentations.
  5. It allows conversion of PDF to non-Microsoft formats like AutoCAD (DWG, DXF), Open Office, image formats (jpeg, bmp, png, tiff, etc.), HTML, Text files, and more.


These are only some of the highlighted features of this software.

It have several new features on this upgraded version that will make for an all-around complete PDF conversion package. Some of them are: extensive PDF creation capabilities (creating regular and secure PDFs, printing PDF without opening the file), editing features (delete, resize, move, scale, rotate, adjust viewing preferences), enhanced PDF to Excel customization, and many more....

Okay let's explore the tool.


User Friendly and Attractive Interface:

Many Conversion Options:
Able2Extract 9 is a famous PDF to Excel conversion tool as it lets users take tabular data from their native and scanned PDF documents and then convert it into perfectly formatted Excel spreadsheets where they can perform their own analysis.

It preserves the layout, formatting, and graphics of the PDF within MS Word. Conversions retain the look and feel of even the most complex PDF documents. Conversion output options a both .doc or .docx format.  

With Able2Exract 9, you can take PDF data and move it into PowerPoint (.PPT, .PPTX) format for easy editing and viewing in your presentation. 

Make edits in desktop publishing by just taking PDF content and making it available for editing and revision in Microsoft Office Publisher.

Open Office is increasingly seen as the alternative to Microsoft Office. Able2Extract 9 supports conversions from PDF to Writer (Word equivalent), Calc (Excel equivalent) and Impress (Powerpoint equivalent).

This application maintains the contents of the PDF files when converted into HTML files, including Fonts, Tables, Graphics, etc. The result is more accurate and stay truer to the actual PDF document once it is converted back into its native form.

It converts PDF to DXF and DWG, the file formats supported by Autocad. Using this conversion feature, users can recover vector graphics and text from the PDF and place it into Autocad readable formats. 

You can even convert the entire PDF file to a simple plain text.

It can convert PDF Images into popular image formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and GIF. User has the ability to designate image dpi, color or black and white and more. 

The File menu provides user with various conversion options to transform the files.

I would not be talking on these conversions techniques as these have been talked earlier in my blog post (February 5, 2014) and are similar to the previous version (i.e. Able2Extract 8). You can go through my article HERE.
