PDF Save as Docx via Com/AcroExch doesn't match Desktop result

We're getting different result output when we use the COM to export a PDF into a docx vs manually opening a PDF in Acrobat and exporting to docx.   It seems the manual version looks much cleaner while via COM looks old and dated.

Anyone know why?

That call is equivalent to the UI, with the settings/preferences for the conversion.

Of course, make sure that you only have a single copy of Acrobat on your machine and that you are only doing this on a desktop and not a server environment.

What method are you using via COM to do this?

via COM the method is Open File -> GetJSObject -> SaveAs (set as com.adobe.acrobat.docx).
