Tested result & sample

After uploading `anchor_pdf2word_v1`, clicking 'Keep the Original Layout' fails with HTTP 500 (`Database error.`) and shows a false offline banner; selecting 'Optimize Layout for Easy Reading' generates an 8.2 KB `.docx` in 1.40s with 100.0% text retention and Page 2 preserved, but flattens the 4x4 table into plain paragraphs (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png).

Interaction
After upload, clicking 'Keep the Original Layout' fails with an HTTP 500 (`{"error":"Database error."}`) from `/api/pdf-to-word/upload-pdf` while displaying a misleading 'You seem to be offline' alert; only 'Optimize Layout for Easy Reading' completes conversion.
