Since its creation by Adobe Acrobat in 1993 the Portable Document Format (PDF) has been highly
appreciated in the business world. Volume and velocity of data constantly
streaming among coworkers, managers and financial professionals has emphasized
the need for highly compressed format such as the PDF. The fact that it’s
easily shared, printed and accessible from any operating system is what made
PDF a valuable asset for any company.
When it comes to accounting, or as often referred to as “the language of
business”, the quantity of documentation created
and processed per year surpasses documentation in all other business
departments. Without the right document management tools, archiving all necessary
data seems like a truly demanding task. That is why accountants need
productivity boosting software to save their valuable time and concentrate on
what is really important -- the company’s money
flow.
One tool that has proven to be really handy when dealing
with administrative operations is Investintech’s Able2Extract 9. It offers multiple PDF conversion, creation and editing
options. Available for Mac, Windows and Linux platforms, it is beyond doubt an “all inclusive” tool for accurate PDF manipulations.
Among
many features that this tool includes, the one that has been very popular among
accountants and bookkeepers is custom
PDF to Excel conversion. The reason is simple.
You can
adjust your column and row structure in PDF before it is converted to Excel
spreadsheet. This way your output tables will be formatted by your own
preference and data sets organized for better analysis and comparison.
4 Easy steps
