Acceptance checks

Extract text from the DOCX and review tables, reading order, and layout in a document viewer.
Before repeating the operation
These examples use local sample filenames. Substitute your own paths and check jetformat pdf to-docx --help against the installed version before running the task. Put paths containing spaces inside quotes.
This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.
Keep the input revision with the result so a later reviewer can reproduce the decision. For a write operation, choose a new output path first; use overwrite flags only when replacing a previously reviewed result is intentional.
