How to do it
Add your file
Add the Word document (.docx) you want to share in a fixed, universal format — a CV, a contract, a report or a cover letter.
Set it up the way you want
Keep the document’s own paper size, or switch to A4 or Letter. Fonts, spacing, numbered lists, tables, headers, footers and page numbers carry over, and the text stays selectable and searchable.
Download the result
Download the PDF and send it anywhere. Links stay clickable and headings become bookmarks in the reader’s side panel.
Questions about Word to PDF
- How do I convert Word to PDF without Microsoft Word?
- Open this page, add the .docx and download the PDF. There is nothing to install and no Office license to buy, and the document is never transmitted anywhere.
- Will the PDF look exactly like my Word document?
- Very close. The page size, margins, spacing, lists, tables, headers, footers and page numbers follow the document, and fonts like Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New are matched with equivalents of the same width, so lines break where Word breaks them. Charts and drawing shapes are the exception and are left out. For a design with unusual fonts, export from Word itself and use DocuGrip to compress, sign or merge the result.
- Is the text in the PDF selectable and searchable?
- Yes. The PDF contains real text rather than a picture of each page, so it can be searched, copied and read by screen readers — which also helps applicant tracking systems read a CV.
