Quick progress update on PDF Retype:

Over the last few weeks we've been putting a lot of focus into fixing the most annoying part of PDF to Word conversion, which is broken table grids and random floating textboxes that jump around whenever you press enter.

Most traditional tools just slap coordinate boxes everywhere, which look okay visually at first glance but are a nightmare to edit . We have been tuning our layout reconstruction so tables actually convert into clean native Word tables with real cells and borders, and paragraphs stay in a continuous reading order instead of five separate disconnected blocks.

If you deal with scanned reports or messy document conversions, feel free to try it out at https://pdfretype.com and let me know if you run into any formatting quirks or tables that behave weirdly? Always open to feedback!
