When to send a PDF instead of a Word file
A Word document can look different on another computer: missing fonts, another version of Word or a phone app move lines and pages around. A PDF looks the same everywhere and is harder to change by accident, which is why CVs, contracts, invoices and forms are usually sent as PDF. Keep the Word file for editing and send the PDF.
To put several documents into one PDF, use the PDF Combiner. To edit a PDF in Word, convert it back with PDF to Word.
Your files stay private
Files travel over an encrypted HTTPS connection, and nobody looks at their contents. Uploaded files are deleted after 4 hours, converted files after 6 hours, and you can delete your converted files earlier in the Inbox. Some conversions run on trusted partner services that delete the files after processing. Details are in our Terms & Privacy Policy.
