Why send a PDF instead of a Word file
A Word file can look different on another computer: missing fonts, moved pictures, different page breaks. A PDF looks exactly the same everywhere and cannot be changed by accident. That is why CVs, invoices, assignments and contracts are usually sent as PDF.
What is kept
The conversion is done by LibreOffice, so text, fonts, headings, tables, images, headers and footers, page numbers and page size all come across. Fonts that are not installed on our server are replaced by a close match; if the exact font matters, embed it in Word before uploading, or check the PDF.
Every Word format
DOCX and DOC from any version of Microsoft Word, Word templates (DOTX, DOT), macro documents (DOCM, macros are not run), OpenDocument (ODT) from LibreOffice and RTF all work. To edit a PDF afterwards, use the PDF editor; to go back to Word, use PDF to Word.
