About this tool

Convert a DOC or DOCX file to a stable PDF for sharing and printing.

PDF provides a fixed page appearance and helps prevent accidental edits to a finished document. A document-aware server engine performs the conversion.

Fonts, headings, paragraphs, tables, images, links, headers, footers, margins, orientation, and page breaks are retained where the source and engine support them.

How it works

How to Convert Word to PDF

  1. 1

    Select a DOC or DOCX file up to 20 MB.

  2. 2

    Choose Convert to PDF and keep the tab open.

  3. 3

    Download and review fonts, tables, links, and page breaks.

Plan the next step

After conversion, inspect the exported pages with PDF Reader before sending the file.

If the result is larger than expected, compare options in Compress PDF while checking text preservation.
