Why convert a Word document to PDF?

• Consistent layout. Fonts, spacing and page breaks look the same on any device.
• Safer sharing. A PDF is harder to change by accident than a Word file.
• Job applications and forms. Many sites ask for a PDF CV, cover letter or assignment.
• Easy printing. A PDF prints the way you saw it on screen.

Tips before you convert

• Proofread first. Fix typos in Word, because editing a PDF afterwards is harder.
• Check page breaks and images in Word so the PDF comes out as you expect.
• Keep the original Word file in case you need to make changes later.

Things to do with your PDF afterwards

• Make the file smaller for email with Compress PDF.
• Add a password with Protect PDF.
• Stamp "Draft" or your name across pages with PDF Watermark.
• Join it with other files using Merge PDF.
