The converted file opens and the paragraphs look tidy. That does not tell you whether the price table, footnote or exception survived.
Keep the original beside the output
To check a converted document, compare its structure and decision-critical details with the original before using it as AI input. Keep both files, record the conversion method and note any known omissions. A successful file conversion is not proof that the content is complete.
Start by identifying what a reader will rely on: figures, dates, conditions, headings or a diagram. Those items determine the checks. A missing decorative image may not matter; a missing column heading can change every value beneath it.
Choose one short document and list three details that must survive. That becomes your first acceptance checklist.
