What to expect
Text, images and page layout are converted together. Fonts and complex formatting may differ from your Office editor; check your PDF before sharing.
The PDF is saved as PDF/A-2b for long-term archiving: fonts are embedded, the color profile is included and the file identifies itself as PDF/A. Spreadsheets are fitted to one page width. This page does not run a formal PDF/A validator; if your archive requires proof of compliance, check the file with its validator.
Large documents may exceed your device’s available memory. If conversion fails, try a smaller document or another device.
Help with conversion
The converter does not start
Check your connection while the converter prepares itself, then retry. This converter needs a modern browser and sufficient memory.
My document could not be converted
Open the document in your editor and save a new copy. Password-protected, damaged or unsupported files may fail. The input limit is 10 MB and the PDF output limit is 20 MB.
Processing takes too long
Preparing the converter stops after two minutes; conversion stops after one minute. You can cancel during processing and restart with a smaller document.
