Investintech, a developer of premium quality PDF conversion software, today released Able2Extract version 2.20, a unique software program that lets users pinpoint and convert material from PDF to Word, Excel and more.

“Users are always pleasantly surprised to find that data they receive in PDF format can now be accessed using Able2Extract and that the data can be transferred into applications such as Excel and Word. This facilitates the analysis and manipulation of the once inaccessible PDF data” stated Investintech President David Moon.

A first of its kind product, Able2Extract is different than many other PDF conversion tools because it offers more conversion options and lets users view and select specific items contained within PDF documents and convert the data to more useable formats.

Tabular data converted from PDFs into Excel is placed into fully formatted spreadsheets so users can quickly analyze the data using Excel’s familiar and powerful tools. PDF data transferred into Word retains the look and feel of the original PDF document and lets users make changes to the text.

“Most other PDF conversion technology currently out there requires transfer of a minimum full page from the PDF document,” said Moon. “That can be a highly inefficient way to convert because the formatting is often incorrect and further editing has to be done after the conversion to locate the exact material needed.”

Able2Extract allows users to simply open the originating PDF document, highlight the elements they need converted and click one button. Conversion is immediate and accurate. The data selected to be converted from the PDF document can be as little as one line of text, a page, multiple pages or even the whole document itself.

“We’ve taken PDF transfer to a new higher level of efficiency, reliability and accuracy in Able2Extract version 2.2”, said Moon. “Our fully redesigned conversion logarithm is quite possibly the most sophisticated now on the market. We understand the importance of maintaining data integrity.”
