Frequently Asked Questions

Our converter offers multiple quality presets: "Web" (72 DPI, optimized file size), "Print" (300 DPI, balanced quality/size), "Press" (600 DPI, professional printing), and "Archive" (PDF/A compliance, long-term preservation). Higher settings preserve more detail but create larger files. For most business documents, "Print" quality provides the optimal balance.

Yes, fonts are automatically embedded to ensure consistent display across all devices and platforms. We use font subsetting to include only the characters used in your document, minimizing file size while maintaining perfect typography. Proprietary and licensed fonts are handled according to their embedding permissions.

DOCX files containing macros (DOCM format) are supported, but the VBA code and interactive elements are not executed or preserved in the PDF. The visual content and formatting are converted perfectly, but any dynamic functionality will be lost. For documents requiring interactive elements, consider PDF forms or JavaScript-enabled PDFs.

Headers, footers, and page numbering are preserved exactly as they appear in the Word document. Complex header/footer configurations including different first page, odd/even pages, and section breaks are all supported. Page numbers, dates, and other fields are converted to static text in the PDF while maintaining their original formatting and positioning.

Our converter supports comprehensive PDF security including user passwords (for opening), owner passwords (for editing), and granular permissions controlling printing, copying, editing, and form filling. We offer both 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption. Enterprise users also have access to digital signature integration and certificate-based security.

Yes, all text content remains fully searchable and selectable in the converted PDF. We also support PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility) standards for screen reader compatibility.
