Research you can reproduce
The quarterly conversion benchmark publishes its scope, test classes, known gaps, and sample files. A pass means the stated assertion passed; it is not a claim that every possible PDF will convert perfectly.
- Download the same simple, complex, scanned, malformed, and large fixtures.
- See which output property each core tool verifies.
- Use the methodology to report a reproducible failure.
Safety guidance with proof
The redaction and OCR guides focus on mistakes that can expose information or corrupt meaning. They include verification steps, not just button instructions.
- Prove redacted text is absent from extracted content.
- Choose OCR settings based on scan quality and document type.
- Keep original source files when flattening or OCR changes document structure.
Operational transparency
The trust center separates current architecture and controls from future plans. It does not imply an audit, certification, SLA, or incident-free history that PDFEnrich cannot substantiate.
