Convert a Word .docx document into a PDF, keeping text, headings, lists, tables and images.
The document is read with mammoth, which understands the content of a Word file: paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and pictures. Those all come across. What it doesn't keep is Word's exact styling: custom fonts become a standard sans-serif, and headers, footers, text boxes and multi-column layouts are left out.
The PDF pages are images of the converted document, so you can't select or search the text afterwards, and a page break can occasionally fall through the middle of a line. For a short, mostly-text document that's rarely a problem. For a long report or anything with a carefully designed layout, use Word's own File, Save As, PDF, or Google Docs' download as PDF, which keep everything exactly.
Only the newer .docx format is supported. If you have a .doc file (Word 97 to 2003), open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs, save it as .docx, and convert that.
The converter only reads .docx, the format Word has used since 2007. Re-save the file as .docx first.
No. The pages are images, so the text isn't selectable. If you need searchable text, export to PDF from Word or Google Docs instead.
Fonts, headers, footers and complex layouts are simplified during conversion. The words, headings, lists, tables and images are kept.
No. It's converted in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That makes it a reasonable choice for private documents.
