PDF Redaction
One of the new additions to the A2E toolbox is the PDF redaction feature. This feature allows you to further bulletproof your important PDF documents. On top of setting password protection and various permission limits, you are now able to selectively black out sensitive data from your PDF pages, whether it’s a single word, a sentence or a whole paragraph.
PDF Annotation
Investintech developers have realized the importance of collaboration in today’s business world and, as a result, have equipped Able2Extract with a handy annotation tool. With it, you can make swift edits and revisions to the PDF file before forwarding it to your colleague or client. Sticky notes, links, highlights, strikeout, watermarks, and stamps are some of the markup options you have at your disposal.
PDF Form Manipulation
Version 12 is now also capable of filling, editing or even creating PDF forms on the spot. No need to waste time or paper on filing the form manually, only to scan them in again and forward them to a specific recipient. Able2Extract allows you to seamlessly fill and edit interactive PDF forms in a number of ways:
- Type in PDF form fields
- Select items from a list box
- Insert check marks in checkboxes
- Submit PDF form to data servers

Enhanced Batch Conversion
The Batch conversion feature also received some improvements since we last saw it. The process is even more streamlined than before. The latest version gives you the ability to scan a specific directory and convert all PDF documents located within the designated folder.
Improved PDF to Excel Conversion
PDF to Excel conversion is arguably the main strength of Able2Extract. When it comes to converting PDF tables to MS Excel spreadsheets with precision, Able2Extract is the reigning champion. Now, with the advanced analysis option, the PDF to Excel experience has gotten even better. The software improves upon the ability to recognize PDF tables and allows you to refine your conversion output results.
Bates Numbering

Quite a handy option when you need to reference specific information in a lengthy document. Able2Extract can help you do just that by applying Bates Numbers to a PDF file.
