Converting Word documents to PDF is essential for sharing files that look exactly right on every device. While Word documents can appear differently depending on installed fonts and Word versions, PDFs display identically everywhere—what you create is exactly what recipients see.

Our Word to PDF converter processes DOCX files (and legacy DOC format) with perfect formatting preservation. Headers, footers, images, tables, charts, and complex layouts convert exactly as they appear in Word. The output is a professional PDF ready for sharing, printing, or archiving.

PDFs provide formatting certainty that Word documents cannot guarantee. Your carefully designed document might look perfect on your computer but appear with wrong fonts, broken layouts, or shifted images on another system. PDF eliminates this risk completely.

Professionalism demands PDF for many situations. Contracts, proposals, reports, and resumes look more polished as PDFs. The format signals "final version" while Word documents suggest "open for editing." Recipients take PDF documents more seriously.

Security and integrity matter too. PDFs can't be accidentally edited like Word documents. What you send is what recipients receive, without risk of unintended changes. For legal and archival purposes, PDF's immutability is essential.

Our converter uses LibreOffice's rendering engine for accurate Word-to-PDF conversion. All Word features convert including styles, headers/footers, table of contents, hyperlinks, comments (optionally), and embedded fonts.

Images are embedded at their original quality. Vector graphics (charts, SmartArt) remain scalable in the PDF output. Hyperlinks convert to clickable PDF links.

Page layout, margins, and page numbers preserve exactly as set in the Word document.

Yes. All formatting including fonts, styles, images, tables, headers, footers, and page numbers convert exactly as they appear in Word.

Yes. Both internal links (table of contents, cross-references) and external URLs become clickable links in the PDF.

Yes. We support both DOCX (Word 2007+) and DOC (Word 97-2003) formats with identical conversion quality.

By default, we convert the final document state. Enable 'Include comments' option to preserve comments in the PDF.

You'll need to enter the password before conversion. We don't store your password—it's used only to decrypt the file for processing.
