| 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 | Exported editable Word without login with text and tables retained; scans were not tested. | 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 | Unlike Adobe Acrobat Online's aggressive repeat-visitor paywall, enterprise rival Foxit keeps its web converter genuinely free: exporting a clean 12.9 KB .docx in 4.5s without login and reconstructing all 16 native table cells flawlessly (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | 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). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Business and academic users who want an enterprise PDF vendor engine with clean OpenXML paragraph structure and no-login export | Users who need fast local browser text extraction from a PDF into a watermark-free DOCX without relying on native table reconstruction |
