When using CleverPDF to convert PDF to other formats, such as Word, Excel, or PPT, if there are some problems for your special documents, and you have a large number of such files, we can make some changes to the current version just for you in order to meet your requirements.
Our developers can also extract the data from PDF and arrange them in the output formats such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint according to your requirements instead of keeping the formatting in the original PDF. We charge the development fee according to the work and the normal license fee.
