How to convert Word to PDF
- Drop the .docx above.
- Press Convert to PDF (or print it with your browser for your own fonts).
- Share or print the PDF.
What comes across
The converter reads the Word file itself: its page size and margins, each paragraph's style, font, size, bold, italic, underline and colour, alignment, indents and spacing, numbered and bulleted lists, tables with their column widths, borders and shading, pictures, links (still clickable in the PDF), page breaks, and the headers and footers with their page numbers. Fonts are matched to the standard PDF fonts (Arial and Calibri to Helvetica, Times New Roman and Cambria to Times, Courier New to Courier); letters those fonts do not have (Polish, Vietnamese, Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean ...) are written in Noto fonts.
The exact look, with your browser
Print or save as PDF with my browser lays the document out with the fonts on your computer and opens the print window, where you can choose “Save as PDF”. Use it for Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and other scripts whose letters join, or when you want your own fonts in the PDF.
Need the text checked, translated or turned into captions? Open the document in the CadreScripts editor: it keeps the layout and fonts too.
Questions
Is my document uploaded?
No. It is converted in your browser, on your computer.
Does it work with .doc files?
It needs .docx. Open an older .doc in Word or LibreOffice and save it as .docx first.
Will my fonts be in the PDF?
Common fonts are matched to the standard PDF fonts. For your exact fonts, use “Print or save as PDF with my browser”.
Is it free?
Yes: no sign-up, no watermark, no limit.
