What is kept when converting DOCX to PDF
A Word to PDF conversion is only useful if the PDF looks like the original. HelloDocxToPdf reproduces the elements that usually break in a conversion.
Fonts
Font families, sizes and styles (bold, italic) are kept, so headings and body text read in the PDF exactly as they do in Word.
Tables
Tables keep their structure: columns, rows, borders and cell contents appear in the PDF as they are laid out in your document.
Headers and footers
Headers, footers and page numbers are reproduced on every page, where Word places them.
Images and page layout
Images stay at their position and size, and the page layout (margins, breaks, orientation) follows your document's page setup.

When should you convert a DOCX to PDF?
A PDF looks the same on every device, while a DOCX can change fonts or page breaks depending on the software that opens it. These are the cases where converting saves you a bad surprise.
Sending a CV or job application

Sending a contract, quote or invoice
