What this Word to PDF converter does
Foldr reads the text of a .docx file and writes it into a plain A4 PDF using a standard font. It is a quick option when you need a text copy of a Word document and don't have Word at hand.
It is a text converter, not a layout-perfect one. For contracts, CVs or anything where fonts, tables and images must look exactly like the original, use Word's own Save as PDF or Print to PDF.
