02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

Layout, fonts, headings, lists, tables and images look like in the original
Headers and footers and hyperlinks are kept, and the text stays selectable and searchable
The text and styles of the template are converted like any other document
The template's text and layout are printed as a finished document
A standard PDF that opens the same way on every phone, computer and browser

Good to know

Comments in the margin are not part of the PDF.
Fonts that our server does not have are replaced by similar ones, so a line or page break can move slightly.
The result is a normal document, not a template. Password-protected files are not supported.
Files up to 300 MB are accepted.

03 / formats

DOT vs PDF

DOT

A DOT file is a legacy Word template (Word 97-2003): a starting layout with styles and fonts that new documents are built from. Converting it gives you the text and formatting as a normal document.

Used in: Legacy Word templates · Old company letterheads

PDF

A PDF file locks in exact layout, fonts, and pagination so it looks identical on every device — the standard for sharing finished documents, contracts, and anything meant to be printed rather than edited.

Used in: Sharing finished documents · Printing · Contracts & forms
