The Microsoft Word document format (DOC) is a great format, loved by many users owing to its flexibility and software support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, there may be instances where the recipient of the Word document doesn\u2019t have a Word processor or where data integrity is of great concern.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, portable document format (PDF) can be the better option.<\/p>\n<p>The PDF format allows users to password-protect their files, safeguarding the data from unauthorized access and reducing the risk of malware and viruses. In this post, we\u2019ll introduce you to the best solutions to convert Word to PDF and versa.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ways to Convert Word to PDF<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to converting Word to PDF, we\u2019re spoilt for choices. Here are the various options you can try out.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Using Word on Windows<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Using Word on Mac<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Using Google Docs<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Using third-party tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first three options are great and provide an easy way to convert Word to PDF. However, they suffer from critical limitations.<\/p>\n<p>First, most of them don\u2019t allow you to edit the PDF.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, they don\u2019t give you the option to convert the PDF to Word. For this reason, we\u2019d recommend using third-party tools such as PDF Simpli, Small Pdf, and others.<\/p>\n<p>A good Word to PDF converter will allow you to convert and edit your document fast, keeping all your formatting, images, tables, and text intact. It should also have other handy features, such as the ability to compress the PDF, sign, or even split PDF.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Converting Word to PDF<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll use PDF Simpli to show you <a href=\"https:\/\/pdfsimpli.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to convert PDF to Word<\/a> and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>To convert Word to PDF, simply follow these steps.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Visit the PDF Simpli website.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down the page and select the \u201cConvert Word to PDF\u201d option. Click on it, and a dialogue box will open, asking you to choose your file. You can also use the drag-and-drop option.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll be able to see a preview of what your final document will look like. You can edit the document here. Click \u201cconvert\u201d to move on to the next step.<\/li>\n<li>A dialogue box with all the popular formats will pop up, including DOC, JPEG, PNG, XLS, and others. Click on the \u201cDownload\u201d button as PDF will be checked by default. You can also change the format here by checking a different box.<\/li>\n<li>Create a free account. In the box that pops up, select where you\u2019d want your document to be saved and click save. That\u2019s it! You\u2019ve just converted Word to PDF in 5 simple steps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Converting PDF to Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To convert PDF to Word using PDF Simpli, simply repeat the same process, but this time, select the PDF to Word option.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wrapping Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openbusinesscouncil.org\/5-things-you-can-do-with-a-pdf-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reasons you might want your document in PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First, there are often incompatibilities issues between different versions of Word, which can mess up your formatting. Plus, for security reasons, PDF is considered more secure as you can password protect the document.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, it\u2019s easier to sign a PDF document as opposed to Word.<\/p>\n<p>In Word, you can only use Microsoft Signature Line to enter your name and title. You\u2019ll need a scanner to insert a handwritten signature.<\/p>\n<p>But with PDF, it\u2019s easy to sign a document using many of the available e-signature solutions. Leading Word to PDF converters even come with an inbuilt e-signature solution that makes it super easy to sign and share a document.<\/p>\n<p>PDF is the industry standard for sharing and printing documents and the final document will in most cases look similar across all devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to convert your Word document into an editable PDF?\u00a0 You\u2019ve come to the right place.
