GIRDAC PDF Converter Standard

PDF Converter Standard is designed to assist users in saving their PDFs to text or worksheet formats. There are six layout options from which to choose, including: "Flowing", "Plain text" and "OCR".

The application allows users to load individual documents or whole folders. This feature can really speed things up, when dealing with numerous files!

Users can control most aspects of the conversion process, including the pages to be processed, as well as the save path and final format.

The software can load source files in multiple languages (i.e. other than English), and extracting images is also supported. A noteworthy function is the hyperlink retention option. Password-protected files are also processed (provided the passcode is inserted, of course).

One of the strong points of this tool is the way it processes PDFs. Specifically, there are six layouts options: "Flowing", "Continuous", "Formatted" and "Plain text", "Images" and "OCR". Each method has its distinctive features, which largely deal with the content that is extracted and how the operation in itself is performed.

"Flowing" and "Continuous" layouts extract the text, columns, tables and images with formats and breaks, respectively. The "Formatted" and "Plain text" options deal with the way formatting is handled. This is retained in the first function, while the latter discards it. The “Images” function will only pick out images.

A highly useful alternative is the Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") setting. This is very handy when source files are scanned documents.

PDF Converter Standard is highly recommended for anyone that requires DOC or XLS replicas of their favorite Portable Document Format files. Its OCR capabilities are a very nice touch that will surely be appreciated by users with scanned forms.
