Convert Word documents to PDF
Sending a Word file risks layout shifts, font swaps, and accidental edits on the recipient's computer. Converting your Word file to PDF freezes the document exactly as you designed it, so it looks identical for everyone and cannot be changed by mistake. It is ideal for resumes, contracts, letters, and reports.
