Word to PDF Without Changing the Formatting
A PDF locks your document's look so it prints and displays the same everywhere. This converter keeps page size, margins, tables, images and right-to-left Arabic text from the Word file, so you can turn DOCX to PDF without changing format for CVs, letters and reports. The one thing to watch is fonts: unusual ones may be replaced by a close match.

How to convert Word to PDF and keep the layout
- 1Select your Word file (DOC, DOCX, ODT or RTF). You can add several at once.
- 2Press Convert.
- 3Wait while the document is converted.
- 4Download the PDF and scroll through it once to check page breaks and fonts.
Good to know
- Use common fonts where you can. If a font isn't available to the converter, a similar one is used and line breaks can move.
- If a heading ends up alone at the bottom of a page, insert a page break before it in Word and convert again.
- Tracked changes and comments may show up in the PDF. Accept or remove them in Word before converting.
- For Arabic documents, set paragraph direction to right-to-left in Word; the converter keeps that direction.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my PDF use a different font?
The converter can only use fonts it has. When a document uses a rare or custom font, a similar one replaces it, which can shift line breaks. Using a common font avoids this.
Are images and links kept?
Images stay in place, and links in the document usually remain clickable in the PDF.
Are my documents stored?
No. They're uploaded encrypted, converted and deleted right away. You can convert free 3 times a day without signing up.
