Frequently Asked Questions
Are fonts preserved?
Common fonts embedded in the DOCX render correctly. Unknown fonts fall back to the server's font set.
Does it support track changes?
Tracked changes are flattened into the PDF using the accepted revisions — there's no markup layer in PDF.
What about macros?
Macros are stripped during conversion — they don't exist in PDF.
