FAQ

Word to PDF, answered.

Will I lose quality converting Word to PDF?

PrivateRemix preserves your content faithfully during the conversion. Text, images and layout are carried across as cleanly as the formats allow.

Can I edit the text after converting to Word?

Yes. Converting to Word (.docx) produces an editable document you can change in Word, Pages or Google Docs. Complex layouts may need minor tidying.

Will the layout stay the same in a PDF?

Yes — that's the point of PDF. It locks fonts, images and layout so the document looks identical on every device.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert Word to PDF?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your Word files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several Word files to PDF at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of Word files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new PDF next to its original.
