## Why project managers convert Word to PDF

A project manager merges status reports and the plan into one stakeholder update, compares two revisions of a scope document, and archives the signed-off deliverable.

**Built for status reports.** Whether it's status reports, project plans, meeting minutes, Arthize's word to pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Project documents can be commercially sensitive; private processing protects client and vendor data.

## What matters when you convert Word to PDF

Embedding fonts is what keeps a converted PDF from reflowing on other devices.

A PDF is the safe format for sending a finished document because it can't be accidentally edited.

Converting Word to PDF preserves page breaks exactly as designed.
