Portable PDF2CSV

One of the most commonly used formats for personal and business documents is PDF. While this ensures a high degree of mobility, security and accessibility for users' data, sometimes one requires other file-types for information storage.

There are multiple PDF converters available and Portable PDF2CSV seeks to set itself apart from the rest of the apps by providing for a specific market segment: the business and finances area. The application features a simple, one-window GUI that allows navigation through several on-screen buttons and tabs. Several frames store lists containing the data of the source PDFs.

New users should have no problem employing this utility for conversion tasks. Although the program loads PDFs, not all documents are viable options, as a certain internal layout is required. Generally speaking, portable documents that store financial data should be supported.

Once a valid file has been loaded, the tool displays the source data under neatly organized columns, with information such as the sum and the payee clearly visible for easy confirmation. One of the great features of this application is the ability to discard items from within the source PDFs. This allows one to transfer specific transactions from portable financial documents to other formats.

Output options include CSVs and Excel documents (XLS and XLSX); copying data directly to the Clipboard is also supported. Once users are satisfied with their selections, a simple mouse click on the “Convert” button transfers data from one type of file to the other.

All things considered, Portable PDF2CSV is a good lightweight tool for anyone in need of a tool to convert financial PDFs to other common formats.
