About Word to PDF

Word to PDF converts DOC and DOCX documents into PDF while keeping text, tables, images and formatting. The result looks the same on every device, which is why PDF is the standard format for sharing documents.

The conversion runs on our server, so you do not need Microsoft Word installed.

When to use Word to PDF

  • Send a CV, letter or report that will look identical for the reader.
  • Share a document that you do not want others to edit by accident.
  • Prepare a final copy for printing or submission.

Tips for the best result

  • Check that your fonts are common ones: unusual fonts that are not available on the server can be substituted.
  • Update any table of contents or page numbers in Word before converting.
  • Embedded fonts and images are kept, but very complex layouts are worth checking after conversion.
