| Fixture findings | Two-page structure fully preserved with 100% retention across all 4 headings, 12 table cells, and 3 key body phrases; successfully reconstructed native editable Word tables (perfect 65.0/65 quality score). | 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). |
| Original historical observation | DeftPDF converted PDF layout into clean native Word formatting without text corruption. | 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). |
