No chapter navigation	Full table of contents

What types of PDFs convert well

Books and novels — excellent; clean reflowable text output
Reports and business documents — excellent
Academic papers (two-column) — good; column detection preserves reading order

Textbooks with tables — good; tables preserved as HTML
Magazines with complex graphics — moderate; text extracts well, graphic layout may not place perfectly
