Frequently Asked Questions
How do I include comments in my PDF?
Keep comments visible in Word (Review tab > Show Markup > Comments checked). Our converter renders them as margin annotations in the PDF.
Can I convert without showing track changes?
Yes — accept all changes in Word first (Review > Accept All), then convert. The PDF will show only the final clean version.
Are reviewer names preserved?
Yes. Comment author names and timestamps from Word are maintained in the PDF annotation metadata.
