You need a Word document as a PDF — for a job application, an invoice, an email attachment. Word itself can export PDFs but if you don't have Word installed, you're stuck.
Free Word to PDF, no asterisks
Flint's Word to PDF converter takes any DOC or DOCX file and outputs a clean PDF. No account, no card, no watermark on the result. The PDF is yours to send wherever you like.
Works on any device with a browser — laptop, phone, Chromebook, library computer.
How the conversion compares to Word's own export
Word's File > Save As PDF is good — fonts embed, layout is preserved, links work. Flint's online conversion produces equivalent quality with the added benefit of running anywhere without Office installed.
For most documents you can't tell the two apart by looking at the result.
When the source doc matters
Garbage in, garbage out. If your Word document uses fonts the converter doesn't have, they'll be substituted (this happens with Word's own export too if the fonts aren't embedded). Track changes and comments are preserved as visible annotations or stripped depending on conversion settings.
For the cleanest result, make sure your Word doc looks right in Word first.
What about complex documents?
Documents with embedded charts, SmartArt, complex tables and headers/footers convert reliably. Documents with linked external content (linked images, OLE objects) sometimes lose the linked content — make sure everything is embedded before converting.
FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes — no signup, no watermark, no daily cap on the free flow.
Will track changes carry across?
By default, track changes are preserved as visible annotations. Accept or reject them in Word first if you want a clean PDF.
DOC or DOCX — does it matter?
Both work. DOCX is the modern format; DOC is the legacy binary format. Conversion handles both.
What about embedded fonts?
Fonts embed in the output PDF by default — recipients see the same typography you did.
