"note": "Converting a PDF to ODS works best when the PDF contains clearly structured tables. The accuracy depends heavily on how the PDF was created—scanned PDFs or documents without proper table markup may require manual cleanup after conversion. Page range selection allows converting only relevant pages. This process extracts table-like structures into spreadsheet cells but may lose complex formatting or merged cell layouts.",
