| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | 15 / 35 | Landing page headlines "Free Online PDF to Word Converter" and completes cloud conversion for guests, but clicking Download Files triggers a mandatory login modal; after free Google sign-in, the full 38.5 KB DOCX downloads without payment. | Evidence B → |
| Interaction restraint | 12 / 30 | Uses a post-conversion login wall at the download step and places a "Download for MacOS" desktop app button beside Download Files. | Evidence B → |
| Background & reputation | 15 / 20 | Operated by Wangxu Technology (HK) Co., Limited (Apowersoft) since 2018. | Evidence B → |
| Engineering & privacy | 10 / 15 | Uploads to Alibaba Cloud Hong Kong OSS and converts via gw.aoscdn.com async task queue; requires account login to retrieve the converted DOCX. | Evidence B → |
Capability · 88.5/100 · 70%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task quality | 61 / 65 | Exported a valid 39,398-byte (38.5 KB) DOCX (43 paragraphs): 4/4 headings, 12/12 table cell values, 3/3 body phrases, and the Page 2 marker are 100% preserved, and the 4×4 financial table is reconstructed as 1 native 16-cell Word table. | Evidence A → |
| Deliverable specifications | 15.5 / 20 | Signed-in free account exports a complete, watermark-free 2-page DOCX with native editable table structure; deducted for the post-conversion login gate on guest download. | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 12 / 15 | 2026-10-21 single-sample network timing: OSS upload and hash registration took 3.19s (PUT upload ~1.89s), and async conversion task /v2/tasks/conversion (r16 to r21) took 6.45s server wait (end-to-end 10.01s). | Evidence A → |
