PDF keeps layout relatively stable, which makes it useful for submissions, archives, and cross-device viewing.
Which Formats Work Well?
| Input format | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Word DOCX | Reports and text documents | Complex layouts need review |
| Excel XLSX / XLS | Table snapshots and archives | Wide sheets may create many pages |
| PowerPoint PPTX | Deck archives | Animations and complex layouts may not be preserved |
| JPG / PNG / WebP | Scans and image collections | Check orientation and clarity |
| TXT / Markdown / HTML | Text archives | Check line breaks and headings |
What to Check After Conversion
- Does the page count match expectations?
- Are tables split or clipped?
- Are image orientations correct?
- Is any text missing or garbled?
- Is the file size accepted by the upload platform?
