How do I convert DOC to PDF for sharing and 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 page breaks; single-asset sources (images) get one page each.
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) is centered on the page; text-layout is N/A there.
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 runs.
What page size and orientation will 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, "auto-fit" 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 DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) has no link metadata to preserve. The PDF uses standard PDF anchor syntax so links work in every modern PDF reader.
Is the resulting PDF searchable with real selectable text?
+
Yes when the DOC contains real text (DOCX, ODT, HTML, TXT, EPUB). Image-based DOC produces an image-only PDF; run /pdf-ocr/ afterward to make it text-searchable via optical character recognition.
Can I password-protect the PDF after conversion?
+
Not in this tool directly — convert DOC to PDF first, then use the /pdf-* tools to add a password, watermark, or restrict editing / printing permissions on the output.
How big will the PDF file be?
+
Depends on the DOC content. 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 images at JPG quality-85.
Is my DOC file private during PDF conversion?
+
Yes — same privacy model as every conversion: isolated workers, automatic deletion within minutes, no human review of content, no training corpus.
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 to CMYK colorspace.
Does the converter handle scanned DOC images?
+
Yes — a scanned-page DOC (JPG, PNG, TIFF) converts straight to PDF. To make the resulting PDF text-searchable, follow up with /pdf-ocr/ to run OCR over the scanned pages and embed the recognized 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 is portable and works with every modern PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, Chrome, Edge, mobile readers).
