Using the Microsoft Word desktop app

If you're on our Semi-Suite subscription, or you're a Super Suite customer who opens your Microsoft 365 files directly in the desktop apps, you have the following option to convert your Word documents (.docx) to PDF using the Microsoft Word desktop app.

  1. If starting in the Web App, select Open in Office.
  2. Once the file has opened in Microsoft Word, navigate to File > Save a Copy.
  3. Change the file name if required, otherwise the only change you need to make is to the file format. Select PDF from the drop-down, then select Save.
