Lossless conversion

If the conversion path supports lossless mode (e.g., PNG to PNG, WAV to FLAC), PDF to Text Extractor preserves every byte of detail. Where the formats fundamentally differ in what they can represent, "lossless" is impossible by definition — but PDF to Text Extractor's "quality" preset gets visually indistinguishable for most content.
