LibreOffice + Ghostscript

Perfect Layout Preservation.
Zero Shift.

Word documents are notoriously unstable. Open the same file on two different computers, and headings shift, images jump, and pages break in wrong places. This happens because `.docx` is dynamic—it depends on installed fonts and printer drivers.

RiseConvert solves this by running a Headless LibreOffice Instance in a controlled server environment. We replicate the exact conditions needed for a perfect render.

But we go a step further. After conversion, we use Ghostscript to "outline" the fonts. This turns text into vector shapes, guaranteeing that your PDF looks exactly the same on an iPhone, a Windows PC, or a Linux server—even if they don't have the fonts installed.

Enterprise Grade Pipeline

Format Support

DOCX & DOC (Legacy)

Why Convert Word to PDF?

Microsoft Word files (`.docx`) are standard for editing, but they are not improved for distribution. Sending a Word file is like sending the raw ingredients of a meal—it might look different depending on who opens it.

PDF (`Portable Document Format`) is the "cooked meal." It's final, polished, and looks exactly the same on every device. By converting to PDF, you lock in your formatting, fonts, and layout, ensuring your document makes the right impression.

Glossary of Terms

DOCX

The modern, XML-based file format used by Microsoft Word 2007 and later.

DOC

The legacy binary file format used by older versions of Microsoft Word.

Font Embedding

Including font files inside the PDF so text displays correctly even without the font installed.

OCR

Optical Character Recognition. Not needed here as Word files already contain text data.
