| 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 | Following conversion of anchor_pdf2word_v1, XML inspection confirmed that all 4/4 headings, 3/3 body paragraphs, and the page-2 token were preserved as editable text runs, with the 4x4 financial table reconstructed as genuine Word table elements rather than rasterized images. | Retains 100% of text and table values across both pages, but exports legacy OLE .doc without native editable tables (table_count = 0). |
| Original historical observation | PDF Jetty (https://pdfjetty.com/pdf-to-word/) converted the test PDF into a 10.0 KB editable .docx in 17.99s server wait; tables and text aligned accurately. | 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). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users needing login-free conversion of layout- and table-heavy PDFs into standard Word documents for editing | 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 |
