Screen #1 is the original PDF
Screen #2 is the paste in Word
Screen #3 is the result

As you can see, it got the first paragraph incorrect. I have two extra returns that are not even at a proper sentence end. So as we can clearly seem this is incorrect. Now multiply this over the entire document and you'll see the number of errors will increase by a lot. This sample is representative of the product. And if the messy line ends are worse, this program's results will be worse. As you can see, it's very easy to see the three paragraphs in screen #2. If the program did paragraph finding using average line lengths, it would have been able to get it right.

Basically, it's an expensive program that doesn't work well.
