Will my document fonts look the same in the PDF?

Common fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, etc.) convert accurately and display correctly on any system. If your document uses unusual or custom fonts that aren't widely available, the converter substitutes visually similar alternatives to maintain the document's appearance. For best results with specialized fonts, ensure they're embedded in your Word document before conversion, or use widely-available fonts.

Are images and graphics preserved at full quality?

Yes. Images embedded in your Word document are included in the PDF at their original resolution without recompression. Charts, diagrams, SmartArt, and other graphics convert to vector or high-quality raster formats depending on how they were created in Word. The visual appearance matches what you see in Word.

Can I convert a password-protected Word document?

You need to remove password protection from the Word file before conversion. If the document requires a password to open, you must open it in Word and save an unprotected copy first. If the document only has editing restrictions (not an opening password), it should convert normally.

Will my table of contents and internal links still work?

Yes. Internal hyperlinks (like table of contents entries that jump to sections) convert to PDF internal links that work the same way. External hyperlinks to websites remain clickable. The PDF maintains the navigational structure of your original Word document.
