FAQ

Q: Word to PDF fails? A: Most of the time it's because LibreOffice/Office is missing.

• Windows: install Office or WPS
• macOS: brew install --cask libreoffice
• Linux: sudo apt install libreoffice

Q: Fonts change after conversion? A: The fonts used in the document are missing from the system. Embed fonts in the document before conversion.
