About Word to PDF conversion
Vertozi lays out your document page by page, like a word processor, and saves it as a PDF with real, selectable text. Headings, lists, tables, images, headers, footers and page breaks stay in place.
Common Office fonts such as Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New are replaced with free fonts that have the same measurements, so lines and pages break in the same places. Other fonts use the closest match.
Charts, text boxes and drawn shapes may look different or be missing. Check the PDF before sending important documents.
