2. Upload your Word file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Drag your .docx file onto the page, or click to browse. Only .docx format is supported \u2014 the old .doc format won’t work here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click the Preview button to see how your document will look as a PDF before converting. This is handy if you want to make sure the formatting came through okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hit the button, wait a few seconds, and download your PDF. The layout, text, and basic formatting should carry over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is important: the conversion works best with simple documents<\/strong>. Plain text, headings, bullet points, basic tables \u2014 all fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What might not survive the trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your document is mostly text with standard formatting, you’ll get a clean PDF. If it’s a heavily designed Word file, some elements might look different. The preview helps you catch any issues before you download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For simple documents \u2014 which is most Word files \u2014 it works great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You absolutely can if you have Word installed. But not everyone does. Maybe you’re on a Chromebook. Maybe you’re on a work computer that doesn’t have Office. Maybe you’re on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PDFNeo works on any device with a browser. No software to install, no subscription to pay for, no “activate Office” prompt to dismiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your Word document stays on your device. The entire conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript. No server upload, no cloud processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re converting a resume with personal info, a contract with financial details, or any sensitive document \u2014 that matters. Some free conversion tools do process files server-side. PDFNeo doesn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Word in, PDF out. No software needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Can you send it as a PDF?” …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":203,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196\/revisions\/203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/pdfneo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-106-1024x485.png\")
