Word to PDF

Turn Microsoft Word documents (.doc, .docx) into universally compatible PDF files. The converted PDF preserves your headings, fonts, tables, page breaks and embedded images exactly as they appear in Word, ready to email, print, or archive.

Common use cases

Send a professional document

Recipients see exactly what you designed, no matter what software or version of Word they use.

Submit a form or application

Most online application portals only accept PDF — convert your Word file and upload.

Archive for the long term

PDFs render the same on any device, even decades later. Word files can shift formatting between versions.

Lock the content from accidental edits

A PDF is harder to alter, so the document you sign or share stays intact.

Limitations

Conversion results can vary depending on the structure, quality and complexity of the source file.

Privacy and security

Files are transferred over HTTPS, processed only for the requested conversion and automatically deleted within 30 minutes. FlowToPDF does not require an account and does not use uploaded files for training or manual review.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PDF look exactly like the Word document?

Yes. We use the same conversion engine that LibreOffice uses, which produces a faithful 1:1 PDF including fonts, tables, and embedded images.

What Word file types are supported?

Both modern .docx and legacy .doc are supported. We also support .odt (LibreOffice) and .rtf.

Will my fonts be preserved?

Standard fonts are embedded in the PDF. Custom or rare fonts may be substituted with a similar one.

Can I add a password to the PDF?

Yes — after converting, run the file through our Protect PDF tool to add a password.

Does it work for documents with comments and tracked changes?

Yes, but those are flattened into the PDF. The PDF reflects the document as it would print.
