I stumbled onto this software product because I needed to redo a 2012 - 1099 form. Since then, I've used it for other forms and I LOVE THE SOFTWARE!! I can't tell enough other people how great it is.
2014-08-05
All good. I do not like the stamp Verified By PDF filler that is attached. I wish you could email the complete forms from your own email address as well.
2016-04-05
Does what I need, the only thing is, it can be confusing when you try to log in, it takes you to another page instead of your actual account page so I have to search for something else to get to it, or I may just haven't located how yet, still good for what I need done.
2017-05-02
So far it has worked for what I need. I wish there was a better price for non profit corporations. AZ Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc. is a 501c3 charity but I had to buy myself because of the cost.
2017-11-15
A very useful product, although a bit tricky (complex) to work with. I don't fill out enough PDFs to make a subscription worthwhile, even at the discounted 75%-off rate. Thank you for allowing me to try it!
2018-11-01
The greatest part about this site is being able to search for all of the various different forms you need. Turbo Tax wanted $159 just to fill out tax forms only needed once a year. Saving a ton on this site!!
2019-01-23
I love to be able to use the pdf filler app much easier and it has become very important for us in documents we need to fill out and sign and send. I would like to see some ease in the selecting the editing of a document, can the display of boxes for each section be less overlapping each other, this may be difficult to do. Sometimes when you have a saved pdf document you do updates rather than create a whole new document, we use them as templates. Right now the easiest way is to create a document in Word, save it as a Word doc and as a PDF doc. Which is okay, often, time is a factor and to quickly update a pdf file would be faster. Thanks for listening.

Made my life easier by not having to go sign in person. Works very well. I love it
I was able to sign pdf forms anf fill in info + sign using my personal laptop. It eould be awsome if I could use your software to process work related activities.
It is very user friedly. It works fast and it is impressive how it communicates with my laptops. It works really well for my personal use But not for work. I work for Raytheon, and it could be that a firewall is not letting a full integration for using your wonderful software.
I cant use it for work because my company laptop issued to me does not have some software required to process the integration into the work pdf files.
2017-11-17
I simply just love it....
I can use it on the GO and there is no need for me to have a printer.
It's very easy to use and I can just access anywhere, All I have to do is simply just fill it out, save it and email it.... Who needs a printer.

Instructions and Help about Scanned PDF Editor
Introduction
The ability to convert scanned PDFs to editable Word documents is crucial for individuals and teams who require efficiency and flexibility in document management. Scanned PDFs are often uneditable images, making them difficult to manage, share, and modify effectively. This conversion process allows users to extract the information they need without retyping entire documents.
Key technologies like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) have revolutionized the way we handle scanned documents, enabling seamless text extraction and making it possible to convert these files into user-friendly formats such as Word. This article will guide you through understanding scanned PDFs, the role of OCR, and how tools like Able2Extract Pro can simplify the conversion process.
Understanding Scanned PDFs
Scanned PDFs are created by capturing images of documents, resulting in files that resemble photographs rather than editable texts. This differentiates them from regular PDFs, which are generated directly from digital content. Consequently, editing scanned documents presents significant challenges, as they lack inherent text data.
The inability to edit these documents easily limits collaboration and productivity. Converting scanned PDFs into editable formats allows users to modify text, adjust layouts, and merge documents seamlessly, enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
The Role of OCR Technology
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a pivotal technology that converts images of text into machine-readable text data. By analyzing the shapes of letters and characters in scanned images, OCR enables software to recognize and extract text accurately.
OCR’s significance in the conversion of scanned PDFs cannot be overstated. It eliminates the tedious manual transcription process, making it possible to convert entire documents in seconds. This technology has significantly increased the accessibility of information and streamlined workflows in various professional settings.

Converting Scanned PDFs to Editable Word Using Able2Extract

Utilize the OCR features within Able2Extract Pro to recognize the text.
Choose Microsoft Word as the output format.

For optimal conversion results, ensure that your scanned PDFs are clear and legible. Poor quality scans may yield inaccurate text recognition, which can hinder the editing process in Word.
Post-Conversion Editing in Microsoft Word
After converting a scanned PDF to an editable Word document, users may need to conduct further edits. While Able2Extract Pro maintains formatting during the conversion process, some common issues may arise, such as misplaced text boxes or changes in font styles.
To ensure your document looks polished, consider these best practices for editing in Word: revise any formatting errors, check for incomplete text blocks, and adjust images if needed before saving the final version.
Benefits of Using Able2Extract Pro for Scanned PDF Conversion
The benefits of using Able2Extract Pro for converting scanned PDFs are numerous. Users enjoy quick and efficient batch conversion capabilities, which dramatically reduces the time spent on document management tasks.

Conclusion
Converting scanned PDFs to editable formats plays a vital role in modern document management. It empowers users to extract, edit, and repurpose information efficiently.
Leveraging tools like Able2Extract Pro allows individuals and teams to streamline their workflows significantly. As technology continues to advance, the future holds exciting possibilities for enhanced PDF conversion capabilities.
