Publisher's description of PdfGrabber

From PixelPlanet:

PdfGrabber makes it possible to export contents from PDF documents into different formats, such as from PDF to Excel, PDF to RTF, or PDF to Word. Thus PdfGrabber allows for editing and further processing of PDF contents in other applications, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Access, without installing Adobe Acrobat.

PdfGrabber is remarkable because of its efficient, export-profile management and automatic monitoring of any number of input directories. PdfGrabber is interesting for those who do a lot of work with PDF documents and would prefer to or have to edit the document contents. Depending on requirements, PdfGrabber offers different export profiles and options. For example, the user can select options for layout that are close to the original or export texts as pure flow-text for subsequent customized processing. PdfGrabber can also be used to export tables and lists into common formats such as Excel or CSV.

Editor's review of PdfGrabber

• 4.0 stars

• "PdfGrabber"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: PdfGrabber 1.1.0.28

Only a couple of compromises keep the speedy and hassle-free PdfGrabber from being a full-service conversion tool. All the important formats are here, including DOC, RTF, TXT, XLS, JPEG, and conversion speeds and quality are exemplary. We turned a 50-pager with complex formatting and images into an RTF file in just 100 seconds, for example. For the ongoing conversion of all incoming PDF files, you simply set up profiles that define conversion settings for particular directories. Then, as soon as a document appears in a monitored folder, PdfGrabber processes it according to the current profile. Alas, it can't run several profiles at once, so it won't handle multiple users or directories automatically. The program may also slow performance on low-end systems. PdfGrabber could be of tremendous use to those who create digests or reports from PDFs on a regular basis.

  "Great program! shame about the X's!"

  by tiery69 on July 8, 2005

  Pros: I've dowloaded about 15 different PDF to Word programs and was very disappointed about the quality of each one...

  It seems that PdfGrabber is one of the best, copying nearly exactly what was on originally...

  Cons: Just Shame about the X's! appearing everywhere in the trial version...

  Which means that the full (expensive)version has to be bought or keep a day for yourself to retype eveything....

  "It should be called X-Files"

  by The Jeepers Creepers on May 25, 2004

  Summary: Unlike some other evaluation versions this one did convert the whole file to a 'Word' (read RTF) document, unlike other evaluation versions it can't quite hack it. The 'developers comments' mentioned that some characters may be converted in to X's, ... read more >>

  "it can't convert"

  on April 9, 2004

  Summary: this software can NOT convert one single equation. If you have many mathematical expressions, don't buy this software. If you want to convert your whole-words documents, go buy a cheaper product. DON'T EVEN TRY THE DEMO VERSION. IT REPLACES RANDOMLY... read more >>
