Office to PDF: supported formats, how it works and a tested example

Word, Excel and PowerPoint files look different depending on the program, version and fonts of whoever opens them. Converting Office to PDF gives you a fixed copy that reads and prints the same everywhere, and nobody can change it by accident.

Our Office to PDF converter takes Microsoft Office, OpenDocument, RTF and CSV files in one place and turns each one into a PDF with LibreOffice. You can mix file types in one upload, and you get one PDF per file.

How to convert Office files to PDF online

There's nothing to set. Each file goes through the export filter that fits its type.

  1. Click Choose Files and pick one or more Office files, or drag them onto the page.
  2. Add or remove files until the list looks right.
  3. Click Convert To PDF and wait while each file converts.
  4. Click Download to save the PDF, or a ZIP file if you converted several.

Which Office and OpenDocument formats are supported?

  • Text documents: DOC, DOCX, ODT and RTF.
  • Spreadsheets: XLS, XLSX, ODS and CSV.
  • Presentations: PPT, PPTX and ODP, one PDF page per slide.
  • Drawings: ODG.

ODT, ODS, ODP and ODG belong to the OpenDocument standard (ISO/IEC 26300) that LibreOffice and OpenOffice use. Each file can be up to 25 MB. PostScript and EPS aren't Office formats; PostScript to PDF converts those.

What a mixed upload gives you

In October 2026 we converted our test files test.docx, test.xlsx and test.pptx in one run, plus an ODP presentation and an ODG drawing. Every PDF kept the page size of its source. Nothing got forced to A4.

FilePDF pagesPage size in pointsPDF size
test.docx1612 x 792 (Letter, as set in the document)18.2 KB
test.xlsx2, one per sheet595 x 842 (A4)36.8 KB
test.pptx1720 x 540 (the 4:3 slide size)21.7 KB
test.odp1720 x 540 (the slide size)21.7 KB
odg-vector-fixture.odg1595 x 842 (the drawing's A4 page)7.1 KB

Each file gets its own request, which took under a second per file on our local test server. With more than one PDF the download is a ZIP named PDFTools.zip, and each PDF is named after its source with _OfficeToPDF.pdf in place of the extension.

That naming bites when files share a name. Our test.docx, test.xlsx and test.pptx all became test_OfficeToPDF.pdf, so the ZIP held test_OfficeToPDF.pdf, test_OfficeToPDF_2.pdf and test_OfficeToPDF_3.pdf in upload order. Give files like that distinct names before you upload.

How LibreOffice converts your files

Our server runs LibreOffice without a screen and converts each file from the command line, the way the LibreOffice help on start parameters describes with its convert-to pdf option. Writer does text documents, Calc spreadsheets, Impress presentations and Draw drawings.

Before converting, the server checks the first bytes of DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, RTF and the OpenDocument files. A JPG photo renamed to .docx got refused with "The file is not a valid .docx document. It may be damaged or renamed.", and so did a Word file with a password to open, since encryption turns it into a different container.

CSV files have no signature to check, so the server reads their first bytes for signs of a binary file instead. We renamed the same photo to .csv, and it was refused with "The file is not plain text. It may be a binary file that was renamed." A real CSV prints every value as written, so a code like 00123 keeps its leading zeros.

If one file of an upload is refused, the others still convert, and the download holds only the PDFs that worked.

Uploads and PDFs get deleted automatically within two hours. You don't need an account, and we don't add a watermark.

Fonts, links, tracked changes and speaker notes

Text in Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI or Consolas keeps its font. Text in Aptos comes out in a different, serif font. In October 2026 we converted Word and PowerPoint test files built to check each of these points, then read the fonts, links and text of the PDFs.

In the source fileIn the PDF
Lines in Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI and ConsolasThe same fonts, embedded
Lines in Aptos and Aptos DisplayNoto Serif instead, because Aptos is not installed on our server
Wingdings and Symbol bulletsPrinted as a square and a round bullet
A web link, a mailto link and a link to a bookmarkAll 3 clickable
Three Heading 1 headings, each on a new pagePDF bookmarks Background, Method and Results; 4 pages
An unaccepted deletion and insertionBoth printed as markup: CHF 40 struck through, CHF 45 underlined, in colour
A commentNot in the PDF
3 slides with speaker notes, the second hidden2 pages, no notes; the hidden slide is left out

If your document is set in Aptos, switch it to one of the fonts in the first row before you upload, or export the PDF from Word itself. And accept or reject all tracked changes first, unless the reader is meant to see the markup.

What happened when we tested Office to PDF

We converted our small test file test.docx (25.7 KB), a short Word document, with no options to choose; the tool processed the file as uploaded. It returned a 1-page PDF of 18.2 KB, ready 0.8 seconds after we clicked Convert To PDF on our local test server. Tested in October 2026.

Which tool for which download

What you want to downloadTool

For a big batch we'd pick Office to PDF, because one bad file doesn't stop the rest. The single-format pages explain the settings that matter for their type, such as print areas in Excel to PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions about Office to PDF

Do I need Microsoft Office installed?

No. The conversion runs on our server with LibreOffice, so all you need is a browser.

What happens if one file in my upload fails?

The other files still convert and you get their PDFs. The failed file is listed with the reason, such as a password or a renamed file.

Why are my PDFs not all A4?

Each PDF keeps the page size of its source: a Letter document stays Letter and a slide keeps its slide size. Change the page size in the source file, or resize the PDF afterwards.

Can I combine several Office files into one PDF?

Not with this tool, which makes one PDF per file. Merge Office to PDF gives you a single combined PDF.

Is the Office to PDF converter free?

Yes. You don't need an account, and it doesn't add a watermark to the PDF.
