Continuous text conversion	Exact conversion only (text boxes) makes it difficult to edit a document.	Documents convert as easy-to-edit flowing text or text boxes - your choice.
Complex document layout handling	Cannot be relied upon to retain formatting of complex layouts. Graphics and text are frequently overlaid.	Converts complex layouts to retain as much of the original formatting as possible.
Multi-column document integrity	Does not handle multi-column documents well. Content is separated into text boxes, breaking up document flow.	Solid Converter retains the integrity of columns. Files are easy to edit.
List and bullet handling	Does not convert bulleted and numbered lists well. Text wraps incorrectly.	Retains the integrity and formatting of bulleted and numbered lists.
Hyperlink retention	Does not automatically convert hyperlinks to Word. Converts the text but does not convert the actual link.	Converts hyperlinks that have been encoded as hyperlinks. (Note: e-mail address changed to protect privacy.)
Header and footer conversion	Does not convert headers and footers. Detects them, but removes them from the converted file.	Converts headers and footers as headers/ footers or as text in the document body. You can also choose to remove them.
Separation of text from graphics	Regularly combines mixed graphics and text into one single graphic. You lose the ability to change the text.	Converts text as text, graphics as graphic objects. This makes both the text and graphics easier to change.
Separation of image objects	Combines multiple image objects into one large image, which can be harder to work with.	Depending upon the original PDF file, can convert multiple image objects to separate grouped objects that can be individually changed.
Rotated text	Rotated text is not formatted correctly, turned into images, or deleted.	Converts rotated text into editable text and retains the formatting.
Table recognition	Table conversion is excellent if the table is tagged. If the table isn’t tagged, it may or may not convert the table.	More comprehensive table recognition. Converts tables even if they are not tagged.
File size	Converted files are generally larger.	Converted files are generally smaller.
Text justification	Does not justify text to match the original document - usually switched to left justification.	Solid Converter retains the original text justification.
