| Fixture findings | Text was retained in this test; the historical free input limit was only 0.5MB, restrictive for illustrated PDFs. | Suited to text extraction from simple PDFs; the historical record shows lost tables and disrupted reading order. |
| Original historical observation | WorkinTool states its rule upfront ('Up to 4 files at a time within 0.5 MB'): our 3.6 KB vector anchor PDF converts smoothly in 4.8s with 100% text retention, but the 500 KB ceiling is far too small for most everyday PDFs (01_landing.png, 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 only need to convert tiny (<500 KB) text-only memos or invoices without logging in | 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. | |
