When should you save a Word file as PDF?
A PDF looks the same on every screen and printer and can't be accidentally edited. That makes it the best format for CVs and resumes, cover letters, assignments, invoices and contracts. Many job portals, universities and government sites only accept PDF uploads.
What formatting is kept?
Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, underline, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, links and embedded images are converted. Very complex layouts — text boxes, multi-column pages, headers, footers and unusual fonts — may look slightly different. For a pixel-perfect copy of a complex layout, use “File › Save as › PDF” in Microsoft Word, or read our guide on converting Word to PDF without losing formatting.
