neurotic_docx_bench fixtures

Real-world DOCX files and what Microsoft Word itself makes of them: Word's own PDF of every document, Word's own Compare (redline) of document pairs with Word's PDF of each redline, and Word's Accept All / Reject All of 400 redlines. It is the ground truth of neurotic_docx_bench, which scores DOCX→PDF converters (jubarte, LibreOffice, docxide-pdf, …) and redline engines (jubarte, docxodus, …) against Word, and of the published comparison site jandira-tech.github.io/neurotic_docx_bench.

Every PDF here was printed by Microsoft Word for Mac (macOS Quartz PDFContext, macOS 26.5.1 and 26.6.2); every redline was made by Word's Compare Documents. No PDF from another producer is in word/ or word_unindexed/; LibreOffice renders are kept apart in libreoffice/.

Files	16,853 (2.72 GB), every one pinned in MANIFEST.sha256.json
Documents (word/)	2,925 DOCX, each with Word's PDF
Word compares (word/)	3,503 redline DOCX (base vs next), 3,502 with Word's PDF
Accept All / Reject All	800 DOCX + PDF (400 redlines × 2)
LibreOffice renders	1,183 PDF, mapped to their Word DOCX/PDF
Not yet indexed Word files	1,082 (Word-made DOCX/PDF awaiting indexing)
Languages	47 detected; English 2,148 of 2,925 documents, Portuguese 38
Pages (Word PDF)	documents: median 1, max 343; redlines: median 2, max 425

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

docs = load_dataset("arthrod/neurotic_docx_bench-fixtures", "documents", split="train")       # one row per DOCX
row = docs.filter(lambda r: r["lang"] == "pt")[0]
docx = hf_hub_download("arthrod/neurotic_docx_bench-fixtures", row["docx_repo_path"], repo_type="dataset")
pdf  = hf_hub_download("arthrod/neurotic_docx_bench-fixtures", row["pdf_repo_path"],  repo_type="dataset")   # Word's PDF of it

pairs = load_dataset("arthrod/neurotic_docx_bench-fixtures", "comparisons", split="train")    # one row per Word compare

The whole tree, verified against the manifest (what the bench does):

git clone https://github.com/jandira-tech/neurotic_docx_bench && cd neurotic_docx_bench
uv run bench fixtures download          # snapshot into corpus/, refuses any sha256 mismatch
uv run bench corpus check               # re-checks word/ against word/MANIFEST.sha256.json

  accept_all/{docx,pdf}    Word's Accept All of 400 redlines, and its PDF
  reject_all/{docx,pdf}    Word's Reject All of the same 400, and its PDF
  documents.csv            every document: id, stem, state, paths, sets, origin names, sha256, PDF producer
  comparisons.csv          every compare: id, key, base_id, next_id, state, paths, sets, sha256, producer

canary_expected.json       canary hashes a bench run must reproduce
holdout_combined.txt       the sealed holdout list
data/*.parquet             the tables above as viewer configs (derived; the CSVs are the originals)

States

A file lives under the state of its DOCX, read from its XML, not from where it came from:

state	documents	compares
clean	2,478	2
tracking_without_comments	237	3,174
with_comments_clean	112	5
with_comments_tracking	98	322

clean: no tracked changes, no comments. tracking_*: has tracked changes (w:ins/w:del/…). with_comments_*: has comments. A compare lives in the state of the redline Word produced.

Names and ids

An id is the first 10 hex digits of the sha256 of the DOCX bytes.

• Document: <id>_<name> (<name> is the original file name, lower-cased, [a-z0-9_-], cut at 48 chars; the docx-corpus documents use their dataset sha256 as name). Its Word PDF has the same stem.
• Compare: <idA>_<a>__vs__<idB>_<b>_redline_<idC>: base, next, and the id of the redline DOCX itself.
• Byte-identical DOCX from several origins are one file; every origin name and set is in the names/sets columns. Original names are in word/notices/RENAMED.csv.

Configs (dataset viewer)

config	rows	one row per	key columns
documents (default)	2,925	DOCX with its Word PDF	id, state, docx_repo_path, pdf_repo_path, sets, sha256, producer, lang, type, topic, pages
comparisons	3,503	Word compare (redline)	id, base_id, next_id, state, docx_repo_path, pdf_repo_path, lang, type, pages
accept_reject	800	Accept All / Reject All of a redline	key, operation, status, docx_repo_path, pdf_repo_path, source_docx_repo_path
libreoffice	1,183	LibreOffice render	libreoffice_pdf_repo_path, word_docx_repo_path, word_pdf_repo_path, set, used_as
word_unindexed	1,082	unindexed Word file	repo_path, sha256, bytes, producer

*_repo_path columns are paths in this repo (pass them to hf_hub_download); the plain path columns are relative to the folder of their CSV, as in the original tables.

lang, type, topic, pages were added for sampling the comparison site and are approximate: lang comes from the docx-corpus metadata where it exists and from text detection otherwise (? = undetected); type is the docx-corpus document type, or synthetic for the generated test documents; pages is the page count of Word's PDF.

Schema

All columns are strings. Paths in docx/pdf/… are relative to the state folder; the *_repo_path columns are full paths inside this repo, usable directly with hf_hub_download. Missing values are null.

Composition

• Languages (documents): en 2,148, unknown 161, ru 42, da 41, es 38, pt 38, fr 37, de 37, nl 35, cs 32, pl 31, zh 30.
• Document types: synthetic 1,425, legal 232, forms 226, educational 206, administrative 190, policies 158, reports 129, correspondence 120, reference 120, technical 74, creative 45.
• Sources: 19 build sets (see word/README.md and word/PROVENANCE.json): 1,500 real DOCX from superdoc-dev/docx-corpus (collected from the public web): 500 sampled across languages and types, compared 100 base × 10 next, and 1,000 English documents compared as 500 base/next pairs; synthetic documents written to stress OOXML features (lists, numbering, tables, fields, headers/footers, comments, tracked-change edge cases, comment balloons) and their mutated versions; Word's accept/reject of 400 compares.
• What was left out on purpose: DOCX Word could not open cleanly, blacklisted documents and every pair that touches them, compares or renders Word did not finish, and any PDF not printed by Word. Each is listed per set in word/PROVENANCE.json (excluded, absent, refused).

How it was made

1. Documents were opened in Microsoft Word for Mac and printed to PDF through macOS (Quartz PDFContext) with AppleScript drivers (scripts/word_pdf.py in the bench repo).
2. Pairs were compared with Word's Compare Documents (scripts/word_redline.py), saving the redline DOCX and Word's PDF of it.
3. bench corpus build gathered Word's working folders, read each DOCX's state from its XML, deduplicated by sha256, renamed by id and wrote the tables and manifests.

Limitations

• Use: reference renders for DOCX→PDF converters and redline/compare engines; layout-fidelity and tracked-change research; testing OOXML parsers on real and adversarial documents.
• One Word, one machine: the PDFs are Word for Mac's. Word for Windows, other Word builds and other font sets produce different line breaks and pagination; pdf_prior/ shows how much two Word builds already differ.
• Fonts: documents asking for fonts the Mac did not have were rendered with Word's substitutes.
• Redlines: Word's compare output depends on its settings and version; these are one Word's opinion of the differences, not a canonical diff.
• Personal data: the docx-corpus documents were collected from the public web and may contain names or contact details of the people who wrote them. Do not use this dataset to identify or profile individuals.
