About document conversion
Editable or final
A document is either something you are still working on or something you are handing over. Word formats keep it editable and let the layout move when the reader has different fonts. PDF freezes it, which is what you want for a contract, a CV or an invoice. Plain text keeps only the words, which is exactly right when the text is heading into another program.
What survives a conversion
Headings, paragraph styles, lists, tables, inline images, footnotes and hyperlinks all carry across between Word and PDF. Structure carries too, so a table of contents built from heading styles stays clickable. What can shift is precise typography: line breaks may fall differently if a font has to be substituted, which is why a document converted for print is worth a final look before it goes out.
Document conversion: common questions
Will my layout survive?
Word and text-to-PDF conversions are not available yet. PDF to Text extracts existing text without preserving the page layout; review the downloaded text before using it.
Which document formats are supported?
PDF to Text is available for extracting existing text from PDF files. Word to PDF, PDF to Word and TXT to PDF are planned and cannot convert files yet.
Is the converted text searchable?
Yes. Text is carried across as real text rather than as a picture of text, so the result stays selectable, searchable and readable by a screen reader.
