Frequently Asked Questions
Will my DOCX look exactly the same as PDF?
Yes. PDF conversion preserves visual appearance - fonts, colors, images, layout, and formatting remain identical. This is why PDF is the standard for document distribution.
Can recipients edit my PDF after conversion?
No (unless they use specialized PDF editors). Converting to PDF locks your content and prevents casual editing. For extra security, consider password-protecting the PDF.
Why is my PDF file size larger than the original DOCX?
PDFs embed fonts and store images at full resolution to ensure identical appearance everywhere. This increases file size. To reduce size, use our compression option or lower image quality settings.
Are embedded fonts preserved in the PDF?
Yes. All fonts are embedded in the PDF, ensuring the document looks identical even if the recipient doesn't have those fonts installed. This is a key advantage of PDF over DOCX.
