  "note": "Converting from PDF to DOC can never be a perfect round-trip because PDFs are fixed-layout formats that do not inherently store editable elements like flowing paragraphs or native tables. LibreOffice will attempt to reconstruct text flow, tables, and images, but complex page designs, multi-column layouts, or decorative text may result in fragmented text boxes. For scanned PDFs, enabling OCR is essential to make the text editable.",
