How to convert Word to PDF
Turn a Microsoft Word document into a PDF that is easy to share and print. This tool accepts both older DOC files and modern DOCX files.
How to use the Word to PDF tool
- Select a Word file. Choose one DOC or DOCX document up to 50 MB.
- Check the output name. Keep the suggested PDF filename or enter another one.
- Convert the document. Choose “Convert and download PDF”. The file is processed in your browser.
- Download your PDF. The download starts automatically. You can download it again from the confirmation page.
DOC and DOCX file support
DOC is the older Microsoft Word format. DOCX is the newer Office Open XML format. Both can be selected here. Password-protected or damaged documents may not convert.
Formatting and document limitations
The converter keeps common text, paragraph formatting, tables, images, and page layout where supported. Some advanced Word features, embedded objects, fonts, or complex layouts may look different in the PDF. Check the downloaded file before sharing or printing it.
Privacy and file security
Your document is converted in your browser and is not uploaded to PDFArmy. The conversion library and some font resources may load from third-party CDNs. An internet connection is needed for those resources.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert both DOC and DOCX files?
Yes. The tool accepts older DOC documents and modern DOCX documents.
Will the PDF look exactly like it does in Microsoft Word?
Not always. Fonts and some advanced or complex layout features may be handled differently. Review the PDF before using it.
Are my Word files uploaded?
No. The document is processed in your browser and is not sent to PDFArmy. The conversion library and any needed fonts load separately from third-party CDNs.
Can I convert a password-protected document?
Password-protected files are not supported. Remove the password from a copy of the document and try again.
Will this change my original Word file?
No. The tool creates a separate PDF. Your Word document remains unchanged on your device.
