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?

reconstruction is always issue in pdf converters, i will improve some parsing methods.Can you try again in 30 minutes?

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

I am sorry to answer late. Yes, you can do convert a digitally signed pdf to word file but signature itself wont survive the conversion.
