The first time I needed to convert a PDF document to Microsoft Word, I had to use an online service that produced a not-so-good result. Without the right software programs, editing a PDF file can be a major problem and the best option sometimes is converting to a different format like docx, or anything else.

Able2Extract-Professional-9.0.5There are seveal programs created for this and Able2Extract is one of such. However, its worth mentioning that this program has some advanced features and that gives it an edge over the rest.

Efficiency

In my test, I converted a 387-page PDF ebook to Word format in just about 4 minutes. It took just a few seconds for a one page document though. The test was run on a computer running Windows 8 64-bit and with a 4GB RAM.

The converted document looks almost identical to the original file and there was no noticeable distortion. I tried converting to .docx and PNG and the result was okay.
