Frequently asked questions

Why does the layout sometimes change?

Usually because of fonts that are not embedded, or elements that depend heavily on the program (nested tables, text boxes). If the engine substitutes a font, the layout can shift a little.

How do I avoid surprises?

Use common fonts, check page breaks in Word and review the final PDF. For official texts, spend a minute on the first and last pages.

Which formats does it accept?

DOC and DOCX. It does not accept ODT or RTF, or a file that only had its extension renamed.

Can I merge the PDF with others afterwards?

Yes. Convert to PDF and then merge it with other documents using the merge PDF tool.
