<\/a><\/p>\nFor the longest time, workplaces have been striving towards a paperless office. Yet we still have a long way to go before going completely paperless. In fact, half the battle is making the switch. The other half is \u00a0running your paperless office efficiently.<\/p>\n
Sure you can scan in all your documents and make your filing system more accessible. But if you can\u2019t effectively retrieve, extract and work with those scanned documents, your switch won\u2019t be the digital transformation you envisioned.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The amount of effort and cost you save in paper, will be cancelled out by the amount of time you waste. \u00a0So how do you revamp your workflow in a paperless office?<\/p>\n
1. Automate Your PDF Conversions<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt\u2019s common for super busy people to multitask, but there have been arguments that say multitasking isn\u2019t even multitasking<\/a> since you\u2019re switching between tasks completely rather than doing two things at one time.<\/p>\nAble2Extract Professional\u2019s batch conversion can help you multitask correctly. Set up your queue with PDF documents, select your output format, set up your folder, and after entering the captcha code, hit the convert button. The entire process is automated. You don\u2019t have to do anything else. \u00a0What better way to get 50 PDFs converted while following up with clients or getting last minute work done?<\/p>\n
2. Don\u2019t Print To Edit<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re used to working in MS Word and typing upon the page you\u2019re working on, you\u2019ll always be disappointed that PDF files can\u2019t do likewise. \u00a0You might even find yourself printing, editing and then re-scanning the entire document.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nHowever, there\u2019s no need for that work around. It\u2019s now completely possible to make direct edits to PDF content that\u2019s normally locked down. Able2Extract Professional<\/a> lets you make quick corrections, redact text, add underlines–everything you\u2019d normally do in MS Word– on the PDF page you\u2019re viewing.<\/p>\n3. Stop Converting Entire Documents <\/strong><\/h3>\nSometimes when you want to convert only a part of a PDF file, it\u2019s frustrating when you can\u2019t copy and paste that data into another file. \u00a0It comes as no surprise then that your gut instinct is that it would be easier to convert the entire file and then delete \u00a0unwanted pages afterwards rather than waste time trying to figure out how to get only a portion of the PDF converted.<\/p>\n
This is where cutting back on the conversion work can actually help you achieve a more concise and effective job. Able2Extract Professional offers you the ability to choose the content you want converted the first time around before you even convert the text.<\/p>\n
4. Search Scanned PDFs On The Spot<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf there\u2019s anything worse than a PDF, it\u2019s a scanned PDF. You may not even know that you have a scanned PDF until you fail at converting that data without the necessary OCR. What\u2019s worse is that you probably don\u2019t even need the entire file–you\u2019re only looking for the data you\u2019re interested in. How do you search \u00a0scanned PDF files?<\/p>\n
Able2Extract Professional can convert image-only scanned PDFs to searchable PDF documents. \u00a0With a few clicks, you can work with the PDF content directly and eliminate the task of converting the PDF to Word just to search for strings of text.<\/p>\n
5. Stop Post Conversion Adjustments<\/strong><\/h3>\nOne of the major complaints of heavy PDF data users is that there\u2019s too much post-conversion editing that occurs with PDF to Excel\u00a0conversions. A lot of time will be spent by data analysts to adjust and clean the resulting data conversions in Excel before they can even analyze and put that information to work.<\/p>\n
