Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 0 · Page 2 preserved: Yes

Text, tables and page two were retained; scans and longer documents need separate tests.

Retains 100% of text and table values across both pages, but exports legacy OLE .doc without native editable tables (table_count = 0).

FreeConvert converts our 2-page benchmark PDF in 5.8s into a clean 9.4 KB OpenXML .docx that retains 100% of text strings, the Page-2 verification token, and all 16/16 native <w:tbl> cells.

Sejda excels in upfront quota transparency and privacy restraint (91/100 Honesty), exporting an unwatermarked document in 11.36s without login and retaining 100% of text across both pages—however, it delivers a legacy binary OLE2 .doc (215.0 KB) rather than modern .docx and does not reconstruct native Word tables (table_count = 0).

Users needing reliable, no-login cloud PDF-to-Word conversion that preserves editable native Word tables and multi-page structure

Users who value upfront no-login quotas (≤50 pages/50 MB, 3 tasks/hr) or a $5 7-day pass without auto-renewal and primarily need full text extraction

No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality.
