Will the PDF look the same as my Word document?
In most cases, yes. We use LibreOffice to lay out the pages, so documents with common fonts and standard features match closely. Unusual fonts are replaced by the closest installed font, which can shift line breaks slightly.

How are tracked changes and comments handled?
Tracked changes appear the way the document is set to show them, like the All markup view in Word, and we tell you on the result screen. Comments are added only if you turn on Include comments as PDF notes.
Can I convert a password-protected Word document?
Yes. Enter the password when asked. It is used only for this conversion and is not stored.
Is it safe to convert Word to PDF online?
Your documents are encrypted in transit and deleted from our servers automatically after 2 hours. You can also delete them straight away from the result screen, and macros are never run.
