Use this checklist before converting DOCX files into PDFs for sharing, printing, or archiving.
Clean the document first
Remove unused comments, accept or reject tracked changes, and confirm headings before creating the PDF.
Watch fonts and images
Custom fonts, floating images, and embedded objects are the most common reasons a PDF can look different from the original Word file.
Open the PDF
Always open the downloaded PDF and check page breaks, links, images, and final text before sending it.
