Product Description:

Export Address Book can export all the data in your Address Book into a data file. It even recognizes fields with self-defined labels. You can choose between various export formats, like tab-separated text, CSV, HTML table and vCard (in Address Book, you cannot specify which fields to export when you create a vCard - in Export Address Book, you can).

Features

  • Export Address Book can recognize and export fields with self-defined labels.
  • You are able to select which contacts to export, which fields from those contacts and how to order them.
  • For later reuse, you can save your export settings to a file.
  • Export Address Book can produce adapted vCards. You can decide which data of a Address Book contact shall be included in the vCard.
  • No duplicates: If you have organized your contacts in nested groups and two groups share the same contact(s), double entries are exported only once when you export your data.
  • Available in English, German and French. Independently from that, field names and label names are shown and exported in your system's primary language.
  • Comes with a built-in Automator action to automate exports.
  • Available as an Universal Binary.

Fully functioning demo. The word "DEMO" will be inserted randomly in every exported record.

What's new in this version:

  • Columns are no longer exported twice when exporting to a TSV data file.

I first purchased Export Address Book years ago, when Tiger would not export my data in the format I required. Since then, OS X has included that specific capability, but there are still times when I need my address book data for non-standard uses. For those times, Export Address Book saves the day.

Export Address Book CommentaryPlease write well-founded reviews - Version: 1.5, 9/27/2009 03:42AM PST

@tmcdanel:

Your review is superficial, misleading and contains factual errors:

  • Because it's a demo and not shareware, my demo app stamps a "DEMO" notice randomly in every exported record. It tells the user that it will do it. In fact, it does NOT place garbage into the generated file.
  • None of the other apps can deal with custom fields.

BTW, giving bad ratings to apps because of there demo limitations only is bad practice and makes the rating system useless for developers AND users. Please avoid it and use the Commentary function instead.

I experimented with 3: "Adddress Book to CSV Exporter", "Address Book Exporter", and a shareware "Export Address Book 1.5". The shareware costs $12. It placed garbage in the generated file.

Between the two freeware, "Adddress Book to CSV Exporter", is by far the best. The test seemed to me to be complex entries, with multple phone numbers and email addresses,notes, and custom fields. The older (2002) "Address Book Exporter" never got it right and dropped all kinds of information.

"Adddress Book to CSV Exporter" performed flawlessly on a Gmail import. I could find nothing that it lost. Excellent software, free or otherwise.

And... as if that were not enough... it even has a Klingon mode. Boy, i bet Antonio Lore is a fun date.
