Turn a working document into a shareable PDF

Convert DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF documents for consistent viewing and printing. Keep the original Word file for future editing and distribute the PDF when the layout is final.

Share a document with fixed pages

PDF is useful when the recipient should see a paginated copy instead of editing the source. Unusual fonts or complex objects can render differently from your word processor. If the original application is available, compare its print preview with the converted PDF.

Before you start

Installed fonts can differ from the fonts used on your computer. Complex layouts, tracked changes and legacy documents may render differently. Check page breaks, footnotes and tables. Encrypted or macro-enabled files are not suitable inputs.

How to use Word to PDF

  1. Choose your document

    Upload a DOCX, DOC, ODT or RTF file. Save recent edits in your word processor before uploading.

  2. Convert to PDF

    Start the conversion. The document is rendered into fixed pages for viewing and printing.

  3. Review page breaks

    Open the PDF and inspect fonts, headers, tables and the last page before sharing.

Word to PDF questions

Will the PDF use the same fonts?

A font that is unavailable to the converter may be substituted. Check line wraps, symbols and page breaks in the output.

Can the recipient edit the original Word document?

The download is a PDF, not your DOCX source. A PDF is not an access-control or anti-copying guarantee.

Can I combine several converted documents?

Yes. Convert the documents, then use Merge PDF to assemble the PDF outputs in the required order.

What happens to my files?

Files are private to your session or account. Free downloads expire after 2 hours; Pro downloads after 7 days. You can delete them sooner from your workspace.
