Converting files

How to convert Word to PDF

Sending a Word file risks it looking different — or being edited — on the other end. A PDF locks the layout and freezes the content.

Why PDF for sharing

The layout looks identical on every device.
Fonts are embedded, so nothing substitutes.
It is harder to accidentally alter.

Embed the fonts

When exporting, ensure fonts embed so your typography survives. This is automatic in most modern exporters.

Keep a Word master

Export to PDF for sending, but keep the Word file as your editable master for future changes.
