How to read our tests
Each test describes a specific input and result. It is not a guarantee for every document.
- 01
Start with the source
Check the sample file, its format and the conversion settings. Use the original document as the reference.
- 02
Inspect the output
Read how the result was checked. Where files are provided, download them and compare the same text, rows or pages.
- 03
Keep the limits in view
A recorded failure stays in the record. A missing test means untested; it does not mean supported or unsupported.
