A word document can be converted to a PDF when downloaded. This prevents users from editing the document locally on their computer, which prevents the creation of multiple versions of the document.

Info: Only documents with the file format .docx can be converted to PDF format when downloading.


1. In order for the document to be converted to PDF when downloading it, the option Download as PDF must be set to Yes on the document form.


Note: In some cases, not all objects in the original document are converted. This especially applies to geometric figures. PDF conversion takes place via an external service and the appearance may change in some cases.
