Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my images missing in the PDF?
Common causes: images are linked (not embedded), or the converter cannot access external references. Our tool reads embedded images directly from the .docx file structure.
Are charts and graphs preserved?
Yes. Charts, SmartArt, and diagrams are rendered as images in the PDF. They appear exactly as they look in Word.
What about background images and watermarks?
Background images and watermarks set through Word page layout are preserved in the conversion. They appear behind text as intended.
Does image quality decrease in the PDF?
No. Images are embedded at their original resolution. The tool does not recompress or downscale your pictures during conversion.
