Frequently asked questions
Does Word to PDF preserve formatting? ▾
Yes. Headings, tables, images, fonts, and page layout are all preserved. Very complex documents with unusual embedded objects may have minor differences.
Do I need Microsoft Word installed? ▾
No. The conversion runs entirely on the server. You only need to upload your .docx file.
What Word file formats are supported? ▾
.docx (Word 2007 and later) and .doc (older format) are both supported.
Is the converted PDF editable? ▾
It is a standard PDF — you can annotate it, sign it, or print it, but not edit it as a Word document. If you need to edit, convert back to Word using a PDF to Word tool.
