Spending lots of time extracting data from PDF files is just part of the job… right? Not any more, with Cogniview’s new PDF to Excel Conversion software.

Convert PDF files of any size and almost any type with PDF2XL!

PDF2XL enables you to do the following:

  • Convert long PDF files by applying a “Single Page Structure” to multiple pages – By re-applying a single “page structure”, PDF2XL allows you to convert PDF files of any size.
  • Save time and convert up to 500 pages per minute – PDF2XL allows you to convert multiple pages and multiple documents at a speed of up to 500 pages per minute, which means that even the longest files and batch directories will be converted in minutes.
  • Extract data from almost any type of PDF – Documents with different tables on different pages, documents with several tables on a single page, rotated pages, PDFs with tiny or unreadable fonts, PDF documents with a combination of fields and tables, and dozens other types of PDFs.
  • Use your PDF data in a variety of applications – Aside from Excel, PDF2XL will extract the data to a CSV file (comma separated values) so that it can be uploaded into other applications. You can also export data directly into Microsoft Word, copy it to the clipboard, and to other formats.
  • And Much More – For Example, PDF2XL allows you to use “layouts” you created for one PDF document to instantly convert other (similar) documents. PDF2XL also allows you to work efficiently by using over 20 “little” productivity features.

Cogniview Microsoft customer satisfaction survey

“Awesome product! We sell thousands of products with constant price changes. In the past, we’ve had to copy and paste page after page of price lists. Now we can do an entire supplier’s list in minutes.

Sweet!” -Ken Swanson, Texas, US

“I’ve tested PDF2XL and it is an order of magnitude more capable than all competing products advertised on the Internet. I look forward to using it as soon as possible” -Jeff Melvaine, Australia

“We purchased the Cogniview PDF2XL program a few weeks ago and are very pleased with the software. This enables us to acquire numerous bank statements from our bank each morning which are PDF files and download them to excel for accounting. Without this program, we would not be able to list our daily checks for review which number about 1500 per month.”-Mary Wendland, Internal Auditor, The Berge Group

“Thank you for your help and very prompt response to my question. The PDF documents, which are state and federal government documents that average 50 to 60 pages in length, are nothing but 1 huge table so it is perfect that your program can convert all pages at once in less than 1 minute. Being able to convert the documents so perfectly and so quickly will probably save me an average of 20 hours per document to do what I need to do. And if you consider that I will be working with at least 2 such documents per state that is an awful lot of time. Talk about increasing production and not having to worry about data entry or copying errors. I evaluated 5 programs in my search for a solution. One simply didn’t work at all; 2 programs churned out garbage; the fourth created a spreadsheet but it would have taken hours to get it to a truly usable state. Your program not only produces a spreadsheet that is immediately usable, the addition of the pre-conversion editing capabilities guarantees a perfect result without having to make changes after the fact.

In addition your customer support is excellent. Responses are prompt, courteous, and very thorough.

I am a business consultant and will recommend your product to any clients who might need these capabilities.” -Gail Zabel, Dallas, TX

“I’d like to say that your software is GREAT. Your software is the only product I found that enables me to get data out of my Accounting software. In fact, you may want to contact my Accounting software company and let them know of your product” -Kenneth Bryant, IT Director, Chicago, IL

“I have used the software for a couple of days and it is a tremendous timesaver for the project I have been working on.” -John Baird, Illinois

“Genius! Your guys are geniuses! I have spent many hundreds of dollars and as many hours trying to do what your software does so easily. I even purchased a full version of Adobe Acrobat to try to do this but it won’t. We have a complicated, multi table, 650 page PDF price file that is sent out by one of our vendors. This lets us convert to an XLS format where we can import it into our order management software. The best $100.00 I have ever spent. Great Work!” -A. Murray, TX, USA
