| Measured fixture results | Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 0 · Page 2 preserved: Yes | Text retained: 100% · Editable table cells: 0 · Page 2 preserved: Yes |
| Fixture findings | Text was retained, but tables became ordinary paragraphs; distinguish download ads from the real control. | Suited to text extraction from simple PDFs; the historical record shows lost tables and disrupted reading order. |
| Original historical observation | PDF2Go exports an 11.2 KB .docx with 100% text retention, Page 2 preservation, and an instant 'Delete Task' button, but flattens the 4×4 financial table into 61 separate paragraphs rather than a native Word table and displays green ad buttons below the result card (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 100% text extraction (including free OCR) without logging in and do not require native Word table border reconstruction | Quick raw text extraction from simple single-page PDFs when legacy .doc format is acceptable |
| Result & output evidence | No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality. | |
