| Task quality | ||
| 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. | Extracted the text but merged paragraphs and flattened tables; unsuitable when layout must be retained. |
| 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). | 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 | Business and academic users who want an enterprise PDF vendor engine with clean OpenXML paragraph structure and no-login export | 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. | |
