| Measured fixture results | Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 16 · Page 2 preserved: Yes | Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 0 · Page 2 preserved: Yes |
| Fixture findings | Exceptional benchmark sample performance: deterministic XML inspection confirmed 100% editable text retention, native Word table reconstruction, and complete page 2 integrity with zero character corruption. | Extracted the text but merged paragraphs and flattened tables; unsuitable when layout must be retained. |
| Original historical observation | 123apps (pdf.io/pdf2doc) completed conversion in 0.72s, outputting a 14.8 KB .docx file with fully editable text and neatly aligned table cells in Word. | TinyWow PDF to Word retains 100% of text strings across both pages (including the Page-2 token), but collapses the entire document into 3 giant paragraphs with 0 native <w:tbl> tables and saves the OpenXML zip with a `.doc` filename extension. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users needing lightning-fast anonymous conversion of formatted PDFs with tables into editable Word documents | Quick plain-text extraction from a PDF without login when table formatting is not needed |
| Result & output evidence | No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality. | |
