Why convert DOCX to PDF?

DOCX to PDF is one of the most-searched conversions on the web - someone has a Word doc they need to email as a PDF for a job application, an invoice, a school assignment. Every desktop Word install can do this, but plenty of people use Google Docs or Office Online or just want a quick browser tool that doesn't require uploading the document.

We use Mammoth to convert DOCX to HTML (preserves headings, lists, basic formatting), then run that HTML through our HTML-to-PDF pipeline. The output captures the document's text and structure. Caveats: complex Word features (tables of contents, comments, revision history, footnotes, advanced typography, embedded equations) may not render perfectly. For high-fidelity print output, Word's own Save-as-PDF is more reliable. For a quick share-it-now PDF, this works.
