I had tried 2 other brand software packages, neither of which could do the conversion for a variety of reasons. With PDF2XL, I was able to convert 10 pages of these tables (trial version only allowed 10 pages) within 10 minutes of using some help and it quickly converted these pages to within 98% of what we needed. The other 2% is something we can deal with easily enough with our other software (SAS) to split a column into 2 pieces that was not well defined within the actual PDF file, so I can not necessarily hold PDF2XL inadequate to properly split this particular column. This will save us hundreds of hours and ensure 100% consistency for very high quality information that we need for our predictive modeling activities. I will suggest this is the package we should buy as it was very intuitive, easy to use, and it worked! This undoubtly will save a number of our staff from having to do this manually which will be a God send to these people. And I really appreciate its trial version to select the specific pages I needed to test my evaluation on. We have decided to buy a 5 license copy of the full PDF2XL Enterprise version.

What this software did in a few minutes would have taken me many painful hours and/or days to tediously retype all of the information from pdf to excel. This demo is quite a product and I will be truly sad when my demo runs up!

I tried to cut & paste out of adobe acrobat but all the columns got lost. A colleague started to "brute force" through it but I found the free trial of PDF2XL. Once I figured out how to split, merge, and move columns, it was a snap. It was a bit difficult to do multiple pages. I ended up doing it in several steps instead of figuring out how to best do multiple pages at once. Otherwise, great product. If I find myself needing to do this sort of work all the time, I'll definitely spend the $125! I had a pdf of a bill of material with 119 items.

I am hoping it will convert scanned images such as power point slides as well as the trial version worked on converting PDF data tables to Excel. So far, this product is fantastic. In two days time, I have converted 12 spreadsheets that had a total of 15 colums and 250 rows. That saved my company a bundle of money. It used to take me two days to retype each spreadsheet, so instead of needing 24 days to produce 12 spreadsheets, it took me 2. Thank you for saving me!
