Apps > Word to PDF Converter > Help Manual

First make sure your phone is connected to internet and you have granted files access right to this app.

Choose File

Tap the "Choose File" button to open file chooser, choose a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file on your phone. The file extension name can be DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, etc. It also supports other file formats such as HTML, OpenDocument, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, PUB, JPG, PNG or GIF. File size can be up to 40m.

The conversion algorithm used on Windows server is different from the conversion algorithm used on Linux server. Try choosing Windows server if you don't like the conversion results on Linux server. The conversion on Windows server may or may not have better results.

The "Choose File" button doesn't respond on Android 4.4, therefore it shows "Alternative Converter" if you are using Android 4.4.

Convert File

Tap the "Convert Now" button to start conversion. Usually it only takes a few seconds to complete conversion. You can choose another server or wait a few minutes and try again if the conversion fails.

Output File

Word to PDF Converter app will list output PDF file when conversion completes. Tap the output PDF file to open it with the default app on your phone.

If you have installed Adobe Acrobat app on your phone, the Adobe Acrobat app will download the online PDF file to "Adobe Acrobat" directory (usually it's located at "/storage/emulated/0/Download/Adobe Acrobat/") and open it when downloading completes. Other apps such as Google Chrome may download the output PDF file to the "Download" directory (usually it's located at "/storage/emulated/0/Download/").

Your file will be automatically deleted on our servers after an hour, so please download it to your phone as soon as possible.

Alternative Converter

The conversion is simple but each step may go wrong on some Android versions. For example: no response when tapping the "Choose File" button, failing to connect to online server, failing to upload or download files.

Therefore, we created the "Alternative Converter" which uses different server, file chooser, uploader and downloader. Try "Alternative Converter" if the default converter doesn't work.

OCR Converter

Tap the "OCR Converter" menu to start OCR Converter. The OCR Converter can recognize text and characters from scanned documents (including multipage files), photographs and digital camera captured images.

Tap the "Choose File" button to choose a scanned PDF document or JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF image, choose language and output format, then tap the "Convert Now" button to start conversion.

Please note the OCR Converter is for scanned documents or images only. Use the default converter if your file is editable Word document or searchable PDF document.
