How OnlyFiles converts Word to PDF

OnlyFiles uses LibreOffice running on a secure server to convert your DOCX file. LibreOffice is the same open-source engine used by millions of people as a Microsoft Office alternative. It reads your document's XML structure — paragraphs, tables, styles, embedded images, headers, footers — and renders them into a standards-compliant PDF. The result is a file that looks the same on every device and operating system, whether it's opened in Chrome, Adobe Reader, or Apple Preview.

What gets preserved (and what doesn't)

Tables, fonts, colors, page margins, headers, footers, page breaks, and embedded images all carry over. Tracked changes and comments are not included in the PDF — only the final visible content is rendered. If your document uses unusual fonts that aren't available on the server, LibreOffice will substitute the closest available match, which may cause minor spacing differences. For best results, use common fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman, or embed your fonts in the DOCX before converting.

When to use this

  • Send a contract or proposal as a PDF that looks the same on every device
  • Submit a school or work assignment in PDF format
  • Lock down formatting before sharing — no accidental edits
