Word to PDF Conversion FAQ
Does Word to PDF conversion preserve formatting exactly?
Yes. Tables, images, embedded fonts, headers, footers, page numbers, columns, and paragraph styles are all reproduced exactly in the PDF output. The result is visually identical to printing from Word.
Are custom fonts preserved in the PDF?
Yes. Custom fonts used in the Word document are embedded in the PDF - so the document looks exactly the same on any device, even without those fonts installed.
Can I convert a file with tracked changes or comments?
By default, tracked changes are shown as accepted and comments are excluded from the PDF output - producing a clean final document. If you need tracked changes visible, accept or reject them in Word before converting.
Are there watermarks on the converted PDF?
No. The output PDF is completely clean - no watermarks, overlays, or branding of any kind.
What is the maximum file size?
Word documents up to 100 MB are supported - sufficient for any standard document including those with many embedded images.
Is my document kept private?
Yes. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest and permanently deleted immediately after you download the PDF.
