A real PDF, produced on your own device
ShyPDF reads the .docx file, lays out every page itself, and writes a PDF with selectable, searchable text and embedded fonts — not a screenshot of the document. Styles, headings, bulleted and numbered lists, tables with borders and shading, pictures, hyperlinks, headers, footers and page numbers are all carried over, using the page size and margins set in the document.
Nothing is sent to a server. That matters for the documents people usually turn into PDFs before sending: offers, invoices, contracts, CVs and cover letters.
Why the page breaks match Word
Word documents usually name fonts that only ship with Microsoft Office. ShyPDF substitutes open-source fonts designed to have exactly the same character widths — Carlito for Calibri, Arimo for Arial, Tinos for Times New Roman, Cousine for Courier New — so text wraps at the same words and pages break in nearly the same places. Letter shapes differ slightly; the layout does not. Chinese, Japanese and Korean text uses Noto Sans.
Some things are not supported yet: multi-column sections, text wrapped around floating pictures, charts, SmartArt and right-to-left scripts. Text inside text boxes is kept, but placed in the normal flow of the page. For a document that depends on those, exporting to PDF from Word itself will be more faithful.
Questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs inside your browser, so your files never leave your device. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
Will the PDF look the same as in Word?
For typical documents, very close. ShyPDF lays the document out itself, and swaps Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New for open-source fonts with identical character widths, so lines and pages break in nearly the same places. Text boxes, multi-column sections, charts and SmartArt are not supported yet; text inside text boxes is kept as ordinary paragraphs.
Does it work with .doc files?
Only .docx. Open an old .doc file in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice, save it as .docx, and convert that.
Which languages are supported?
Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts, plus Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Right-to-left scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew are not supported yet.
Are tracked changes and comments included?
The PDF shows the document with all tracked changes accepted: inserted text is included, deleted text is not. Comments are left out.
