DOC to PDF Processing FAQ
How do I convert DOC to PDF for sharing or printing?
+
Upload the DOC file and the converter renders it onto PDF pages with sensible defaults: A4 / Letter size, 1-inch margins, embedded fonts. Multi-page sources (DOCX, EPUB, XLSX) keep their page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each, centred and scaled to fit.
Will the DOC to PDF conversion keep my fonts and formatting?
+
Yes for text-bearing DOC (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT) — fonts are embedded into the PDF so the output looks identical on every viewer regardless of installed system fonts. Image-only DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) just centres the bitmap on the page; layout is not applicable.
Can I merge multiple DOC files into one PDF?
+
Yes — drop multiple DOC files into the upload zone and choose the "merge into one PDF" option. They appear as sequential pages in upload order inside the resulting PDF; drag-to-reorder before conversion adjusts the order without re-uploading.
What page size and orientation will the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or US Letter portrait. The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image DOC, the "auto-fit" mode picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio per-page.
Will hyperlinks in my DOC survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for DOC formats that have real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML, EPUB). Image-based DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF uses the standard PDF link-annotation model so links work in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge, and every other reader.
Is the PDF searchable (selectable text)?
+
Yes when the DOC contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based DOC produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, use /pdf-ocr/ after conversion to run optical character recognition over the embedded page images.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this step — convert DOC to PDF first, then use the dedicated /pdf-* tools to add an owner / user password, watermark, restrict editing, or restrict printing. Keeping the steps separate makes each one auditable.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends entirely on the DOC. A 10-page DOCX with embedded fonts produces a 200-400 KB PDF. A 10-image JPG batch at full resolution produces a 5-20 MB PDF. The advanced "compress images in PDF" toggle recompresses embedded bitmaps at JPG quality-85 to shrink the file.
Is my DOC file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same model as every conversion: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review. Document content (text, embedded images, comments, tracked changes) is never read by a human at any point in the pipeline.
Will the PDF pass print-shop preflight (300 DPI, CMYK)?
+
Defaults are RGB / 72 DPI (screen-optimized). For commercial print, switch the advanced options to CMYK / 300 DPI and the converter re-renders vector text at print resolution and converts embedded raster images into the CMYK colourspace with embedded ICC profiles.
Does the converter work with scanned DOC images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF as a one-image-per-page document. If you need the PDF to be text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to overlay an invisible OCR text layer on top of the scanned pages.
Can I convert DOC to PDF and email it directly?
+
Not from the converter UI itself. After download, attach the PDF to your usual email client. The resulting PDF file is fully portable and works with every PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge, mobile readers) without further conversion.
