PDF2XL

PDF2XL is a professional software application whose purpose is to help you convert PDF files to XLS or other file format. The tool comes in handy especially when you need to extract tables, which may contain information related to addresses, phone numbers, countries, or other contact details.

Although it comes bundled with many tweaking parameters, it boasts a clean layout. It also offers support for some built-in tutorials, so you can get used to configuring the program’s functions.

You can drag and drop the PDF file that you want to convert directly into the primary panel, preview the content of the PDF, zoom in or out, rotate the document to different angles, go to the previous or next page, perform search operations, as well as convert multiple pages.

What’s more, you can use the OCR mode on the entire document, current page, data inside the page’s layout, or only the selected element. You are able to extract the information from scanned files using the OCR technique and validate data.

Last but but not least, you can print items, edit table title and column header, split a column into two columns, as well as select a method for detecting rows in a table, namely rows from text or lines, or opt for an automatic mode.

When it comes to conversion operations, you are allowed to convert the PDF data to XLS, DOC, ODS, PPT, CSV, or HTML file format. You may copy the information to the clipboard for pasting it into other third-party utilities, and specify the number of pages that you want to convert.

During our testing we have noticed that PDF2XL is able to process large PDF files pretty quickly and offers excellent output results.

PDF2XL proves to be a reliable application that comes packed with several advanced features for helping you extract data from PDF files. Not all of the built-in parameters are quite intuitive, so you need to take some time and experiment with each function for making the most out of the utility.
