  "note": "Converting from PDF to DOCX involves transforming a fixed-layout, print-ready format into an editable word processing document. This process is inherently imperfect—complex layouts, multi-column text, advanced typography, and certain vector graphics may not convert cleanly. For image-based PDFs, OCR must be enabled to make text selectable and editable, but accuracy depends on scan quality and language selection. Even with layout preservation enabled, manual touch-ups may be needed after conversion.",
