Open it in Word and check the structure before you rely on it.
This one needs an upload, and is deleted afterwards
Browsers cannot do this calculation, so the file goes to our server. It is deleted automatically 60 minutes after the job finishes, and the working copy lives in a memory filesystem that is wiped whenever the server restarts.
We do not log file names and do not log file contents — that is a hard rule in our engineering standards, not a setting.
What it does — and what it doesn't
Every line becomes its own text box. You can click in and edit, but reflowing, changing the column width or adjusting paragraph spacing will scatter things.
Paragraph and table structure is not preserved. What was a table comes out as a grid of aligned text boxes.
A scanned PDF converts to images, not text. Run OCR first.
The conversion always returns this warning with it — deliberately, not as boilerplate.
Common questions
Can it be made better?
A PDF has no notion of paragraphs, only "this glyph at this coordinate", so every tool is guessing at structure. Small edits, yes; a rewrite, find the original file.
So when is this useful?
You were sent a PDF, you need to change a couple of numbers or a name, and then print it. That case works well.
