Frequently asked questions

Answers about the workflow, file quality, and situations you may encounter.

Can I save selected pages only?

Set a page range in Word’s PDF options to export the relevant part of the document.

Will tracked changes appear in the PDF?

The document-with-markup option affects this; review comments and change visibility before publishing.

How can I reduce font substitution?

Embedding permitted custom fonts in the source Word document can reduce substitution, especially during online PDF conversion.

What should I do for screen readers?

Resolve Accessibility Checker issues first, then enable document structure tags when exporting the PDF.

Does embedding fonts increase file size?

Yes, some fonts are large; embedding all characters helps later editing but can increase size.

Can I complete the operation and download a file on this page?

This version supports file selection and checks of file type, size, and count. Processing is not connected, so it does not convert, edit, or generate downloads. The guide describes a workflow in an application that supports the operation.

Which file types and sizes can I select?

This tool accepts DOC, DOCX file extensions. You can select up to 20 files, with a 25 MB per-file limit and 100 MB total. Checking an extension does not verify that the file contents are valid or undamaged.

Are my selected files sent to a server?

In this version, file contents are not read or uploaded. Selections stay in the tab’s memory and are cleared on refresh. File names, extensions, and sizes are used only to display and check your selection.
