Word to PDF Converter — Free Court-Friendly Tool (No Upload)

When a judge wants a flattened PDF—not a DOCX—you can still edit in Word and convert locally with theWord to PDF Converter. It runs in your browser, preserves typography, and is ideal before you assemble your filing in the Court Bundle Maker.

Why courts and landlords prefer PDFs

PDFs keep pagination consistent, secure signatures, and survive e-filing systems that reject DOCX attachments. Landlords rely on PDFs when exchanging motions or lease documents, and courts want immutable copies so clerks can stamp and archive them.

How to convert Word to PDF for filings

Save your edits in Word or Google Docs, then switch to the CourtPDF converter. It reads paragraphs directly from the DOCX file, lays them out in a standard 8.5×11 page, and outputs a PDF you can merge, reorder, or stamp as needed.

Private, browser-based conversion

The tool loads DOCX bytes in memory and renders pages with CourtPDF’s existing PDF engine. No uploads, no queue, no watermarks—just a downloadable PDF for your records or for use with Court Bundle Maker.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Visit the Word to PDF Converter.
  2. Click Choose DOCX and select your file (or load the sample).
  3. Hit Convert to PDF. CourtPDF parses each paragraph and typesets it onto standard pages.
  4. Download the PDF, review it, and optionally combine it with exhibits using Court Bundle Maker.

FAQs

Will fonts and formatting stay intact?
The converter preserves paragraph order and font size hierarchy but focuses on clean, readable text. Embedded custom fonts may be replaced with a court-friendly sans serif.
What about page breaks?
Long sections flow naturally to the next page with standard 1-inch margins. If you need precise page breaks, add manual headings or spacing in Word before converting.
Can I keep signature blocks from Word?
Yes—typed signature lines render exactly as they appear in your DOCX. If you need a drawn signature, add it afterwards with theFill & Sign PDF tool.
