A document conversion has to translate text, pages, styles, tables, links, and embedded objects between two different storage models - One built for fixed layout, one built for editing.

Conversion can rasterize searchable text, alter page boxes, omit forms, or change font rendering.
Review every page size plus searchable text, links, forms, fonts, and print output.
