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) preserve their natural page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each, auto-fit to the page.
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. Image-only DOC (JPG, PNG) just centres the image on the page; layout is N/A.
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 the PDF in upload order; drag-to-reorder is supported before conversion. Useful for stitching a folder of scans into a single archival PDF.
What page size and orientation does the PDF use?
+
Defaults: A4 portrait (international) or letter portrait (US). The advanced options expose page-size (A3, A4, A5, letter, legal, tabloid, custom) and orientation (portrait / landscape). For image DOC, the "auto-fit" choice picks orientation to match the source aspect ratio.
Will hyperlinks in my DOC survive the PDF conversion?
+
Yes for DOC formats that carry real hyperlink metadata (DOCX, ODT, HTML, EPUB). Image-based DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) have no hyperlinks to preserve. The PDF file uses the standard PDF anchor model so links work in every reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge).
Is the PDF searchable with selectable text?
+
Yes when the DOC contains real text layers (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based DOC produces an image-only PDF — to make it searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run optical character recognition over the page bundle.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this same step — convert DOC to PDF first, then use /pdf-protect/ to add an open password, owner password, or print / edit restrictions. Splitting the steps lets each conversion stay focused and fast.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends 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 re-encodes embedded images at JPG quality-85 to shrink the PDF aggressively.
Is my DOC private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same privacy model: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review of content.
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 text at print resolution and converts embedded images into CMYK colourspace, producing a PDF that passes most preflight checks.
Does the converter work with scanned DOC images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. If you need the resulting PDF to be text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages and build a real text layer.
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 PDF file is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge, Firefox).
