Common problems
Fonts look different from the original Word document
Non-standard fonts are approximated in browser rendering. For pixel-perfect output, use Word's built-in Save as PDF.
Tables are misaligned or broken in the PDF
Complex multi-column tables may shift. For exact layout, convert with Word's own Save as PDF.
File uploads but nothing happens
Ensure the file is in DOCX format. Old .doc files must be opened in Word and re-saved as DOCX first.
FAQ
Is formatting preserved during conversion?
Yes, core formatting is preserved: headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables. Complex layouts with multiple columns or unusual fonts may render slightly differently.
Which formats are supported?
The primary supported format is DOCX (Word 2007 and newer). For older DOC files, open them in Word and re-save as DOCX first.
Are images in the document preserved?
Yes, embedded images are included in the resulting PDF.
Why does the result look different from the original?
Conversion happens in the browser without Microsoft Word. Non-standard fonts or complex layouts may be approximated. For pixel-perfect results, use Word's built-in 'Save as PDF' feature.
Can I convert a Word file with tracked changes to PDF?
Tracked changes may be visible in the PDF. To get a clean output, accept or reject all changes in Word before converting.
How do I convert a Word file to PDF without Microsoft Word?
Upload your DOCX file here — the conversion happens entirely in the browser using open-source rendering. No Microsoft Word or Office license needed.
What happens to embedded fonts during conversion?
Standard system fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri) convert reliably. Custom or decorative fonts may fall back to a system alternative if the font isn't available in the browser rendering environment — embed them in the DOCX before converting if exact appearance matters.
Can I convert a DOCX with tables and charts to PDF?
Yes. Tables convert as-is and charts render as static images in the output PDF. Complex charts built with Microsoft Office's chart engine may appear slightly different — this is a limitation of browser-side rendering rather than the conversion process.
