| 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 | Retains 100% of text and table values across both pages, but exports legacy OLE .doc without native editable tables (table_count = 0). | Suited to text extraction from simple PDFs; the historical record shows lost tables and disrupted reading order. |
| Original historical observation | 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). | 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 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 | 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. | |
