Questions
Why submit a PDF instead of a .docx?
A Word file can look different depending on the computer and fonts used to open it. A PDF locks the layout, so page breaks, equations and images look the way you left them. Many professors and course sites require PDF for that reason.
What happens to my file?
Office files need LibreOffice to convert, which can't run in a browser, so your file is sent to our server over an encrypted connection. It's converted immediately, and both copies are deleted as soon as your download starts. Nothing is stored or read.
How do I convert a Google Doc?
In Google Docs, use File, then Download, then Microsoft Word (.docx), and convert that file here. Google Docs can also download a PDF directly.
My fonts changed. Why?
Uncommon fonts are swapped for the closest match we have. If exact fonts matter, use Save as PDF inside Word itself.
