How the Conversion Works
A .docx file is a package of text, styles and pictures. The converter lays it out page by page in your browser, the way Word would, then saves each page into a PDF. An invisible copy of the words is placed over each page, so the PDF can be searched and the text copied.
Fonts that are not on your device are replaced with similar ones, so a line can break in a slightly different place. Check the pages before you send them.
For the sharpest text, click Save it with your browser’s Print to PDF. Your browser prints the laid-out document straight to a PDF with real text. Old .doc files need to be saved as .docx first.
