Monarch Pro V8.0 Single User CD

This is an excellent product that performs exactly as it is advertised. If you are looking 2 convert "paper" reports that can be converted 2 a database, this is exactly what you should use. I purchased the "Pro" version because of my need 2 convert PDF files, not supported in the "standard" version. The only caution -Monarch insists that the PDF file be authentic (i.e. generated by Adobe) rather than one produced by a third-party PDF look-alike generator.

While the manual & on-line instructions are less than complete, the technical support is responsive & very helpful. I would recommend this product 2 anyone who has this "conversion" need, it can save countless hours of otherwise wasted time.

This is great software 4 anyone who needs 2 pull information out of massive computer reports or .pdf files. You give the software certain parameters about the report you are working with and, once you get it right, you get all of the information in a spreadsheet format that is extremely useable, can be easily exported 2 other files, reorganized, recalculated, etc. It does have a bit of a learning curve if you want 2 do its more complicated functions, however, the time spent learning the software could give you the information you can't get otherwise, & save you lots of time in the long run.

Monarch Pro is a Windows-based business intelligence & reporting tool designed 4 easy use by everyone, not just a select group of "power users" with advanced technology skills. Unlike other BI or reporting tools, Monarch Pro easily "mines" data from existing text-based or PDF reports - an information source often overlooked by other BI tools. Monarch Pro also enables users 2 access & analyze data from database files, spreadsheets, ODBC sources, delimited text, & HTML files.

Monarch Pro's unique modeling technology allows even non-technical users 2 effortlessly build a collection of filters, calculations, summaries & charts & apply them 2 different data sets, plus export data at anytime 2 Excel, Access, PDF, & more - all without programming & without help from the IT department.
