About this tool

A Word document is a set of instructions for laying out text, and it is re-rendered every time someone opens it. That means the result depends on their software version, their installed fonts and their page setup - which is why a CV that looked perfect on your machine can arrive with a page break through the middle of a job title. A PDF is the opposite: the layout is fixed at the moment of creation and every viewer shows exactly the same thing. This is why PDF is the expected format for anything finished - CVs, contracts, invoices, reports and submissions. Conversion keeps headings, fonts and layout close to Word; the upload is processed and discarded. Files up to 20 MB are supported.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose your Word document (max 20 MB)Drop a .doc or .docx file onto the box.
  2. ConvertThe file is processed into a high-fidelity PDF, then the upload is discarded.
  3. Download the PDFYour Word file on your computer is untouched, which matters because the PDF is not practically editable.
  4. Check the page breaksLook at where pages divide and at any tables or images near a boundary - that is where layout differences show up.

Key features

  • Preserves headings, fonts and layout far better than simple browser-only converters.
  • Locks the layout, so the document looks the same on every device and in every reader.
  • Produces the format employers, courts, universities and clients actually expect for finished documents.
  • No account and no watermark. Uploads are processed and discarded, not stored.
  • Works without Microsoft Word installed on your machine.

Common uses

  • Sending a CV or resume, where a reflowed layout looks careless to a recruiter.
  • Issuing an invoice or contract that must not be casually edited.
  • Submitting coursework or an application where PDF is required.
  • Sharing a report with people who may not have Word.
  • Archiving a finished document so it still renders correctly years later.

Tips for better results

  • Accept or reject tracked changes and delete comments before converting - both can appear in the PDF and look unprofessional.
  • Check page breaks in the PDF rather than assuming they match Word. Tables and images near a boundary are the usual surprises.
  • Use common fonts if exact appearance matters. Unusual typefaces may be substituted during conversion.
  • Keep the Word original. Editing a PDF properly means editing the source and converting again.
  • If the PDF comes out large because of embedded photographs, run it through the PDF Compressor afterwards.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Converting with tracked changes still showing, so internal edits are visible to the recipient.
  • Deleting the Word file after converting, leaving no practical way to make changes later.
  • Assuming hyperlinks and bookmarks always survive. Most do, but check any that matter.
  • Converting a document with linked rather than embedded images, which can leave gaps.
  • Sending a converted PDF without opening it once. A thirty-second check catches nearly every layout issue.
