How Word to PDF Conversion Works
Upload your .docx file and click “Convert to PDF.” The document is sent to our server, where LibreOffice renders it headlessly and exports a PDF. Text, tables, images, headers, footers, and standard fonts are all preserved. The resulting PDF is streamed back immediately — nothing is kept on the server.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Word to PDF conversion work?
Your .docx file is sent to our server, where LibreOffice renders it in headless mode and exports a PDF. LibreOffice is the industry-standard open-source office suite used by millions of servers for exactly this purpose. The resulting PDF is streamed straight back and nothing is stored.
Will the formatting be preserved?
For documents using standard fonts and layouts, formatting is preserved very accurately. Complex multi-column layouts, custom fonts not installed on the server, and advanced Word-specific features (like macros or ActiveX controls) may render with minor differences. For perfect fidelity on complex documents, export to PDF directly from Microsoft Word.
Which fonts are supported?
The server has Liberation fonts installed — these are metric-compatible replacements for Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New, so standard business documents convert cleanly. Custom or decorative fonts embedded in the .docx will fall back to the closest available substitute.
Does it support tables and images?
Yes. Tables, inline images, headers, footers, bullet lists, and numbered lists all convert correctly in the vast majority of cases. Float-positioned images and complex table borders occasionally shift slightly, which is a known LibreOffice limitation.
Can I convert password-protected documents?
No. Password-protected .docx files cannot be opened without the password. Remove the protection in Word (Review → Protect Document → Stop Protection) before uploading.
What file format is required?
Only .docx files (Office Open XML format, used by Word 2007 and later) are accepted. The older .doc format (Word 97–2003) is not supported. You can re-save a .doc as .docx using File → Save As in any modern version of Word.
What is the file size limit?
Free users can convert documents up to 10 MB. Pro users get up to 100 MB. Most business documents are well under 5 MB.
Are my files stored on the server?
No. Your document is written to a temporary directory on the server for the duration of the conversion, then immediately deleted. The PDF is streamed back and nothing is retained after your request completes.
