Sometimes PDFs store actual character data (like vector graphics), and sometimes they store static images. Last I checked (admittedly a few years ago), Word conversion only works on the former. It didn't do OCR or anything so dramatic.

If only some PDFs will work for them, they wouldn't accept them at all.

Can it handle the fancy ligatures[0] that LaTeX creates?
