Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fonts change when I convert to PDF?
Desktop converters substitute unavailable fonts. Our browser-based tool uses fonts installed on your device, giving you accurate rendering without server-side substitution.
How do I ensure my custom font appears in the PDF?
Install the font on the device where you run the conversion. The browser uses your local fonts to render the document accurately.
What happens if a font is not available?
The tool falls back to the closest matching system font. For critical documents, use standard fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman.
