How to Convert Documents with Manually-Filled Bubbles Using PDF2XL

PDF2XL is a powerful tool for converting PDF documents into editable formats such as Excel, Word, and more. However, there are some documents that require the use of an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) application, which is the tool used for standardized testing. These documents include exams, application forms, surveys, and questionnaires that have manually-filled bubbles.

Unfortunately, PDF2XL does not contain this technology and cannot convert this kind of document. This is because the software is designed to recognize and convert text and images, but not handwritten or manually-filled bubbles.

If you have a document with manually-filled bubbles that you need to convert, you will need to use an OMR application.

These applications are specifically designed to recognize and interpret manually-filled bubbles, making them the perfect tool for converting standardized testing documents.

There are many OMR applications available, both free and paid. Some popular options include Remark Office OMR, ABBYY FlexiCapture, and Gravic Remark.
