| Fixture findings | Converted automatically with editable tables retained; check free allowances and file limits. | Suited to text extraction from simple PDFs; the historical record shows lost tables and disrupted reading order. |
| Original historical observation | Powered by the enterprise ConvertAPI engine, FreePDFConvert automatically converts our 2-page anchor PDF in 3.62s without a single extra click, producing a 10.0 KB .docx with all 16 native table cells and dual-page formatting intact (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | 11zon finishes in 3.2s without login and extracts 100% of raw text strings, but outputs a legacy Word 97-2003 OLE2 .doc binary that flattens the 4×4 table and interleaves Page 2 lines into Page 1. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who need to convert a single complex-table PDF into a high-fidelity native Word (.docx) document in under 4 seconds, or developers evaluating ConvertAPI quality | Quick raw text extraction from simple single-page PDFs when legacy .doc format is acceptable |
