Able2Extract offers selection
features that differ depending on the type of PDF that is being converted.
There are two basic ways to select within a document, "Select Area" and "Select All" Selection. These selection options are
enabled when formatted and computer generated PDFs are being converted
(generally most PDFs will be in this format). Users can select data from their
PDF documents by left clicking with their mouse and dragging their mouse over
the area to be selected.
Detail on both selection options mentioned above are outlined below:
Select the following icon on the toolbar: ![]()
By using this icon, you will automatically select the entire document.

Select the following icon on the toolbar: ![]()
Using this icon gives you maximum control over the selection in PDF format. Using this selection feature, you are allowed to select row-by-row and column-by-column. This works best when you only want to select certain columns on the page, not all columns!
Holding the left mouse button down, drag the mouse over the columns or portions of the document to be selected.

With "Select Area" Selection we can eliminate the irrelevant parts of page and get perfect conversion of the data we are interested as highlighted below:
