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.
