Recently, I was provided with a pre-release copy of Able2Extract Professional 10 and am happy to see some improvements and new features.<\/p>\n

One of the tasks I find myself wanting to do frequently is changing the actual printed text of PDF files (agreements\/contracts\/forms) before signing and submission. For me, the big new feature of A2E 10 is he ability to edit text in existing PDF files. While I won\u2019t bore you with dull business contracts, I did take a peace of personal \u201chistory\u201d and change a few things I thought could be better.<\/p>\n
When Microsoft released Windows 2000, they launched it with a \u201cGeek of the Week\u201d web feature and selected me as their launch Geek. I was interviewed and they published the article. AT the time, I wish I could have asked for a few changes. I didn\u2019t like that the writer stated I blurted out a sentence and I didn\u2019t like that they published more information about where i lived than I was comfortable sharing. (I also didn\u2019t like the picture of me they selected, but that\u2019s a whole other issue).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Someone at Microsoft sent me the article as a PDF file and I\u2019ve had it ever since. Reading the release notes on the editing capabilities of Able2Extract 10, I started experimenting on contracts and other business documents, but then remembered that I had a few more interesting things saved to PDF that I would love to revise.<\/p>\n
So I loaded the original Geek of the Week PDF in the editor.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It took no time at all to highlight the text I wanted to replace and type in my correction. A2E automatically matches the type style and size, but I could easily have changed these. A2E lets me easily add, delete, or change text in a WYSIWYG editor. Painless and fast.<\/p>\n
I then saved the file to a new name. I later replaced the picture of me I didn\u2019t like with another app \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The new version also offers to ability to convert ANYTHING to Excel (not just PDF) which I find interesting. And you can merge and extract PDF files. While I\u2019ve always found that conversion with A2E is extremely accurate, I\u2019m told that accuracy has been improved and enhanced in this new version.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in world class OCR capabilities, the Pro edition lets you converted scanned, image based documents.<\/p>\n The new editing<\/strong> capabilities for me is the best new feature. I like this tool and recommend it highly. Trial versions of both Able2Extract<\/a> and Able2Extract Professional<\/a> are available so you can see for yourself.<\/p>\n Oh, and if you want to read the Geek of the Week article <\/a>(revised), you can laugh at my predictions about the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve mentioned before that PDF files are a fact of life that sometimes are painful to deal with (manipulate and fix) and I truly dislike Adobe Acrobat.
