Interesting! I've stopped myself from uploading sensitive docs to an online converter. This helps.

Tried a sample document but it screwed up the formatting. Anything I should do before uploading to fix this?

please try to select text in your PDF. if you can't highlight it, it is image and needs OCR first.
