PDF workflow

Turn Office files into a PDF packet

Clients and schools often require a single PDF even when you authored in Office. This workflow converts the source files, optionally merges, compresses for size limits, and adds password protection when the packet is sensitive.

Convert Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to PDF, merge if needed, then compress and protect.

  • Compress before emailing; protect afterward if recipients need a password separately.
  • For fillable forms, confirm fields survive conversion or use PDF Form Filler next.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will macros survive?

No. PDF conversion is for visual/document delivery, not executable Office macros.

What if I only have one Office file?

Skip the merge step and continue with compress and protect as needed.
