Hi @hyydmmhy! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Stirling-PDF team.

This is a known limitation of Stirling-PDF's PDF to Word conversion. The conversion uses LibreOffice as the backend, and complex PDFs (especially those with graphics, layers, or non-Latin scripts like Chinese text) are particularly prone to conversion issues.

There's also a known compatibility issue where converted DOCX files may display correctly in LibreOffice but appear corrupted in Microsoft Word.

Potential workarounds:

• Try opening the converted file in LibreOffice Writer instead of Microsoft Word
• If you're running Stirling-PDF locally or via Docker, upgrading to a newer LibreOffice version (24.8.4.2+) has been reported to improve conversion quality

Unfortunately, for complex PDFs with many pages and graphics, the conversion quality depends heavily on LibreOffice's capabilities, which has inherent limitations with certain document structures.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
