Frequently asked questions
Is Konomic a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat for pdf to excel?+
Yes. Konomic's pdf to excel tool is free on the starter tier (20 operations/day, 50 MB per file, no watermark). 75% cheaper, browser-based, no installs, auto-delete in 1h.
How does Konomic pricing compare to Adobe Acrobat?+
Adobe Acrobat charges $19.99/mo for their Pro tier. Konomic Pro is $4.99/month with 100 operations/day, 100 MB per file, and 10 e-sign requests/month. Business tier is $14.99/month (unlimited ops, API access).
Can I import my Adobe Acrobat files into Konomic?+
Yes. Konomic works with any standard PDF (1.4 through 2.0), so PDFs exported from Adobe Acrobat open directly in Konomic's editor. No migration tool needed — just upload.
Is Konomic safe for confidential documents?+
Konomic runs on EU-only servers (Hetzner, Germany), encrypts files in transit with TLS 1.3, stores them encrypted at rest, and auto-deletes within 1 hour. We never train AI models on user files. GDPR-compliant — safer than Adobe Acrobat's cloud retention policy.
What features does Konomic have that Adobe Acrobat lacks?+
Konomic bundles a GDPR-compliant contract generator (NDA, freelance, privacy policy — tuned for ES / DE / FR / EU jurisdictions) that Adobe Acrobat does not offer. Plus AI Chat and Summarize included at no extra cost. And a public API on the Business tier for developer automation.
