| Fixture findings | Text was retained in this test; the historical free input limit was only 0.5MB, restrictive for illustrated PDFs. | Suited to full text extraction across multi-page PDFs (100% text retention); because the layout-preserving mode errors out, exported files flatten the 4x4 table into 12 plain paragraphs (0 native tables). |
| 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). | After uploading `anchor_pdf2word_v1`, clicking 'Keep the Original Layout' fails with HTTP 500 (`Database error.`) and shows a false offline banner; selecting 'Optimize Layout for Easy Reading' generates an 8.2 KB `.docx` in 1.40s with 100.0% text retention and Page 2 preserved, but flattens the 4x4 table into plain paragraphs (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who only need to convert tiny (<500 KB) text-only memos or invoices without logging in | Users who need fast local browser text extraction from a PDF into a watermark-free DOCX without relying on native table reconstruction |

| Interaction observations | For PDF files under 0.5 MB, clicking Convert without login directly enables a blue Download button for a watermark-free .docx (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png) with no sign-up modal. | After upload, clicking 'Keep the Original Layout' fails with an HTTP 500 (`{"error":"Database error."}`) from `/api/pdf-to-word/upload-pdf` while displaying a misleading 'You seem to be offline' alert; only 'Optimize Layout for Easy Reading' completes conversion. |

| Evaluation basis | ||
| Pricing transparency | 29 / 35 Discloses its restriction upfront above the upload button ('Up to 4 files at a time within 0.5 MB', 01_landing.png) rather than ambushing users after conversion, but a 0.5 MB (500 KB) file size cap is extremely restrictive and primarily serves to funnel users to the 'Desktop version →' button below. | 27 / 35 The landing page claims '100% Free' without upfront disclosure of the 1 download/day anonymous limit enforced by `/api/pdf-download-check`; within that quota, guests can directly export a watermark-free 8.2 KB `.docx` without registration (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). |
