Team members are easily able to learn the system and navigate swiftly. The conversion process is very quick that little to no time is wasted in the process.

It is very easy to learn how to use and all team members can be trained without much effort. The implementation time is very short, in less than a week you can have it implemented throughout the organization. All our staff is very satisfied with the results obtained and it has saved us many hours of work, as otherwise we would have to type all the documents to update our website. When the PDF documents from which we want to extract the text have handwriting stains, this causes some errors in the extracted text, but it is not much and can be easily corrected. **What do you dislike about TextfromPDF?** What I don't like is that you can't extract text from scanned documents. It would be nice if the OCR feature could be included to be able to extract text from scanned documents. Because we have many documents that we only have copies of and it would be very useful to extract the text to publish them on our website or to modify the content in a word processing program. **Recommendations to others considering TextfromPDF:** I recommend using Textfrompdf for its ease of use and excellent performance. **What problems is TextfromPDF solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Textfrompdf to retrieve text from documents and brochures that were saved as PDFs, and the original files are not available.
