    Guide: DOCX to PDF

    Introduction

    Turn Word files into PDFs that keep formatting, tables, and links intact. This guide covers preparation steps and quick fixes for common issues.

    When to use this guide

    • Sending resumes, proposals, or contracts where layout must not shift
    • Preparing files for e-signatures or print
    • Sharing documents that should look identical on any OS
    • Locking content from casual edits while preserving links and images

    How to use

    1. Clean the DOCX: accept tracked changes, remove macros, and keep only the fonts you need.
    2. Upload the DOCX (up to 500 MB) to DOCX to PDF.
    3. Download the PDF and review headers, tables, and hyperlinks.
    4. If you need a smaller file, compress the result via Compress PDF.

    Tips and recommendations

    • Use standard or embedded fonts to avoid substitutions.
    • Keep page size consistent (A4 or Letter) in Word to prevent reflow.
    • Compress heavy images first (Compress JPG or Compress PNG).

    Example: contract ready for e-signature

    • Upload a DOCX with logo, numbered clauses, and signature blocks.
    • Export to PDF so recipients see the same spacing and can sign without reformatting.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will the formatting stay the same?

    Yes. Fonts, tables, bullet lists, headers/footers, and links are preserved.

    Can I convert large files?

    Yes, up to 500 MB. For image-heavy documents, compress images first to speed up conversion.

    How do I keep file size small?

    Reduce image size before conversion or compress the final PDF with Compress PDF.
