What it does
Word to PDF converts .doc and .docx files into PDFs that keep their layout on any screen or printer. Headings in the document can become bookmarks in the PDF, so a long report is easy to move around in.
When to use it
Use it when a job application, grant portal or client asks for a PDF, or when you want to be sure your formatting survives on someone else's computer. It is also a sensible last step before printing, because the PDF shows exactly which lines fall on which page.
