| Measured fixture results | Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 0 · Page 2 preserved: Yes | Text retained: 68.4% · Editable table cells: 16 · Page 2 preserved: Yes |
| Fixture findings | Suited to full text extraction across multi-page PDFs (100% text retention); because the layout-preserving mode errors out, exported files flatten the 4x4 table into 12 plain paragraphs (0 native tables). | Preserved one editable 4x4 table and the Page 2 token; some heading word spaces were collapsed. |
| Original historical observation | 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). | Downloaded valid DOCX with 1 editable table (16 cells) and Page 2 preserved; extracted headings collapse inter-word spaces (68.4% strict phrase match). |

| Pricing transparency | 27 / 35 The landing page claims '100% Free' without upfront disclosure of the 1 download/day anonymous limit enforced by `/api/pdf-download-check`; within that quota, guests can directly export a watermark-free 8.2 KB `.docx` without registration (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | 14 / 35 Page title claims "100% Free, No Sign Up", yet unauthenticated guests hit a Wondershare login modal at download; signed-in free accounts get 1 free conversion per day before hitting a daily limit banner. |
| Interaction restraint | 20 / 30 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. | 9 / 30 Labels free No-OCR mode "There is uneditable content in the converted Word files" to push OCR Pro, and styles "Share" as the wide primary button on the completion screen while shrinking Download to an unlabeled icon. |

| Task quality | 45 / 65 OpenXML (word/document.xml) inspection: 100.0% text retention (4/4 headings, 12/12 table values, 3/3 body phrases, and Page 2 token preserved across 12 paragraphs), but 0 native `<w:tbl>` tables because 'Keep the Original Layout' fails with HTTP 500 and 'Optimize Layout' flattens table cells into paragraph runs (45.0/65) | 53 / 65 Exported a valid 12,194-byte DOCX (46 paragraphs, 1,313 chars): reconstructs 1 native editable 4×4 Word table (16 cells, 12/12 cell values matched) and preserves Page 2; collapsed spaces in extracted headings reduce strict substring checkpoint matching to 68.4% without losing body text. |
| Deliverable specifications | 15.5 / 20 Exports a valid 8.2 KB (8,388 bytes) watermark-free OpenXML `.docx` without login, subject to 1 free download/day and flattened table structure (15.5/20) | 15 / 20 Signed-in free account exports a watermark-free 2-page DOCX (11.9 KB) with an editable table, but contradicts the "No Sign Up" title claim and enforces a strict daily free limit. |
| Processing speed | 14 / 15 Client-side PDF.js worker parsing takes 2.98s and 'Optimize Layout' DOCX generation completes in 1.40s (4.38s end-to-end, 0s network upload) (14.0/15) | 11 / 15 2026-10-21 single-sample network timing: clicking Convert triggered /middle/converter (r9) through terminal /middle/get-task-result poll (r15) in 8.82s server wait (end-to-end 9.13s). |
