This is software to convert pdf files to excel. It's fast and easy to use. But the first run wasn't smooth sailing because of a hair-pulling technicality.
Apple Tech Support came to my rescue, and here's what we discovered, to everybody's surprise.
When downloading internet adobe files--say from your credit card on-line statements,-- if you simply do a "save as pdf," the file will be encoded as the same originally used to create them; namely, your bank, credit card company, etc. The PDF file will be encoded as the software type that vendor used originally; which means, it will not save as a Mac pdf file, and therefore will not be compatible with the mac compatible converter software.
So, when you download a statement, for example, select OPEN file, so it opens in PREVIEW, THEN, do a save as pdf; and voila, you'll have a pdf saved with encoding software OS X; which you'll need in order to be compatible with the deskUNPDF software mac compatible.
This may seem obvious now, but it wasn't when we had no idea the pdf was saving with a non-mac encoding.
