Convert Word to PDF on Your Mac

Word to PDF turns .docx, .doc, RTF, OpenDocument, plain text and HTML files into PDFs, many at a time. It can use Pages or LibreOffice if you have them for the closest match to the original layout, or its built-in engine if you don't. You can also choose Letter or A4 paper.

Questions about Word to PDF

How do I convert a Word document to PDF on Mac without Word?

Drop the .docx into Word to PDF and click Convert. Toolbox can use Pages, LibreOffice or its own built-in engine, so Microsoft Word isn't needed.

Which engine should I use?

Pages or LibreOffice usually keep complex layouts closest to the original. The built-in engine works without any other app installed.

Can I convert many Word files to PDF at once?

Yes. Drop them all in and each becomes its own PDF in a dated folder in Downloads.
