Word to PDF
Render an unencrypted DOCX into a page-by-page PDF locally, keeping visible text, tables, images, headers, footers, and common Word layout. Legacy .doc files are not accepted.
Processed in this browserOne unencrypted .docx file up to 15 MB, 2,000 package parts, 120 MB expanded data, and 120 rendered pages. Output is limited to 100 MB.
DOCX - 15 MB - 120 pages
No file upload
This operation runs with browser APIs. Nirmion receives catalogue requests, not the selected source bytes.
Original stays unchanged
The converter creates a separately named output. It never writes back into the source file.
Bounded work
One unencrypted .docx file up to 15 MB, 2,000 package parts, 120 MB expanded data, and 120 rendered pages. Output is limited to 100 MB.
Plain-language method
How Word to PDF works
The browser preflights the DOCX ZIP package, reconstructs its pages as HTML, waits for local fonts and embedded media, captures each visible page, and places those page images into a separate PDF. No document bytes are sent to Flask or MySQL.
- 01Choose a valid source
Use .docx created by a current Word-compatible editor. Password-protected packages, legacy binary .doc, damaged relationships, and oversized expanded packages are rejected.
- 02Review the conversion choices
Start with standard quality. Use high only when small text needs extra sharpness and the device has enough memory.
- 03Inspect the separate result
The result ends in _nirmion_tools.pdf and keeps the rendered page appearance. Because pages are captured visually, text search, selection, links, comments, tracked-change controls, and accessibility structure may not carry into the PDF.
Useful when
Practical jobs this tool handles
- Share a review copy without uploading the document.
- Freeze a simple report or letter into visible pages.
- Create a consistent PDF from a supported DOCX on a managed device.
Before converting
Check the source and destination rules
- Accept or reject tracked changes before conversion.
- Confirm required fonts are installed or embedded.
- Compare page breaks, tables, images, and headers in the PDF.
Know the boundary
Know what the destination format cannot keep
Browser rendering is not Microsoft Word. Complex fields, macros, equations, SmartArt, unusual fonts, floating objects, and pagination can differ. Use Word or LibreOffice for legally controlled or pixel-exact output.
Quick answers
Questions before you convert
The conversion contract is deliberately explicit.
Does this accept old .doc files?
No. Convert .doc to .docx in an authorised desktop editor first.
Will the PDF text stay selectable?
Not reliably. This release captures rendered pages to preserve appearance, so treat the result as page images.
Are macros executed?
No. The renderer reads supported OOXML parts and does not execute VBA macros.
