Editing a PDF means getting its content back into a document, and this rebuild does that from the PDF's own text layer: paragraphs, headings and tables reconstructed as editable Word structures. The honesty clause matters here. Complex multi-column layouts reconstruct as best effort; a scanned PDF has no text layer at all, and rather than emitting an empty file the page says so, since OCR is a different tool. For born-digital PDFs, the results edit well, and nothing is uploaded.
Questions
Why did my scanned PDF get refused?
It contains images of pages, not text; there is nothing to rebuild from. The page tells you and offers page images instead; OCR is on the roadmap.
How do tables come through?
Well-formed PDF tables rebuild as Word tables; visually-drawn ones may need adjusting.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No, extraction and rebuild are local, contracts included.
