How to convert Word to PDF

    Select or drop a .docx document.

Everyday uses

  • Resumes – send a CV that looks the same on every phone and computer.
  • Letters and applications – formal letters to offices and banks.
  • Assignments – submit coursework as PDF.
  • Quotations and invoices – send clients a file they can’t accidentally edit.

Good to know

The converter lays the document out again with its own page size, margins, styles, tab stops, lists, tables, pictures, columns, headers, footers and page numbers. Office fonts are replaced by open fonts with the same letter widths (for Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New), so in most documents lines and pages break where Word breaks them.

Hindi and Marathi text is drawn with a Devanagari font and stays selectable. Documents in Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali and other scripts without a bundled font are converted in “exact look” mode, as page pictures, so letters join correctly.

Old .doc files: open them in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save as .docx first.

Private by design. Word to PDF works inside your browser. Your file is processed on your device and is not uploaded to our server.

Limits to know before you start

  • Only .docx is supported. Open old .doc files in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save them as .docx first.
  • Text boxes and floating pictures are placed in the text flow; shapes, charts, SmartArt and EMF/WMF pictures are left out. Footnotes are collected at the end of the document.
  • Fonts other than the common Office fonts are replaced by the nearest of the bundled fonts, so line breaks can differ.
  • Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali and other documents in scripts without a bundled font are converted in “Exact look” mode, as page pictures without selectable text.

If something goes wrong

“Old .doc files aren’t supported”. Open the file in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice and save it as .docx.

Indian-script text looks broken. Choose “Exact look” as the output.

The layout looks different. This tool lays the content out again with similar fonts. For an exact copy of a complex layout, use Save as PDF in Word.

Word to PDF – questions

How do I convert Word to PDF?

Select your .docx file and press Convert to PDF. The document’s own page size and margins are used unless you choose others.

Will my formatting be kept?

Yes for most documents: page size, margins, fonts, headings, lists, tables, pictures, columns, headers, footers and page numbers are kept. Text boxes, shapes and charts are simplified or left out.

Can I convert .doc files?

Save them as .docx first (File › Save As in Word or Google Docs).

Is the text selectable in the PDF?

Yes for English, Hindi, Marathi and other documents in Latin or Devanagari script. Documents in Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali and similar scripts use exact-look mode, which keeps the appearance but turns the pages into pictures.
