Chose ABBYY FineReader
While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders …

ABBYY FineReaderSystweak PDF Editor
Likelihood to Recommend
The most common scenario is a need to do a high-level OCR-scan of a document followed by heavy editing. I believe that FineReader is in its own league in that regard, and there is no single reason why would someone choose an alternative soft for the purpose.
Another common scenario is a need of detailed comparison of pdf documents. A massive help!

Best for-Systweak PDF Editor is easy to use, even for beginners. The user interface is simple and straightforward, and the program comes with a built-in help file that provides step-by-step instructions on how to use all of its features. Less appropriate as Systweak PDF Editor does not have the ability to create or fill out fillable forms. This can be a problem if you need to fill out a PDF form that is emailed to you.

While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders ability to handle hundreds of pages at once felt leaps and bounds above Adobe
