What Word to PDF does
Convert a Word document to PDF, which is how it should be sent to anyone you are not actively collaborating with. A .docx reflows depending on the fonts and Word version at the other end, so a CV that is perfect on your screen can arrive with a page break through the middle of your job history. PDF fixes the layout in place.
Word to PDF and DOCX to PDF are the same conversion here: turn a .docx document into a PDF online for free, with fonts, tables and page layout kept.

Questions
Why send a PDF instead of the Word file?
Because PDF renders identically everywhere. Word documents reflow around missing fonts and differing page settings, which is why carefully formatted CVs and reports so often arrive looking wrong.
Will my fonts survive?
Fonts are embedded in the PDF, so it looks the same on any machine. The catch: the conversion runs on our server, so a font the server does not have is replaced with a close match (Liberation, DejaVu or Noto). Standard fonts such as Calibri, Arial and Times convert cleanly; check a document set in an unusual font before sending it.
Can the PDF still be edited?
Not easily, which is usually the intent. Keep the .docx as your working copy and treat the PDF as the version you distribute.
Do tracked changes and comments appear in the PDF?
Comments are not printed. Tracked changes appear in the state the document was saved in, so if changes were showing, the PDF may show marked-up text. Accept or reject them in Word first for a clean final copy.
Is the PDF text selectable and searchable?
Yes. The document is rendered to real PDF text, not to page images, so it can be searched, copied and read by screen readers, and it stays small.
