I have tried all other pdf to Excel converters and they all botch them up completely with misaligned rows and columns, making the task more excruciating. ABBY is the ONLY app available that can quickly adjust rows and columns to an exact OCR match. Invaluable\! > > **Cons**: Learning curve to use all the features can be a bit tedious but not overwhelming. > > Have used ABBY exclusively to do document conversions for over 11 years now. No other app Including Acrobat is as good as this one. ----- ### "Alternate of Adobe Acrobat PDF" — 4.0/5 > **Ricky** | *June 10, 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its OCR is easy to use and powerful.
