Questions specific to this operation
Word to PDF questions
Will the Word file remain editable?
The source remains unchanged, while the PDF is intended as a stable output copy.
Are comments included?
That depends on how the source document is prepared; remove unwanted review markup first.
Are hyperlinks preserved?
Many standard links can survive conversion, but always test the downloaded file.
Can a PDF reproduce every Word feature?
No. Dynamic or application-specific features may be flattened or omitted.

Questions about Word to PDF
Why can Word formatting change during conversion?
Font availability, page size, margins, floating objects and unsupported Word features can change pagination. Always compare the PDF with the source document before sharing.
Do comments and tracked changes appear?
That depends on the saved document and its print settings. Accept or review tracked changes in Word and inspect the exported PDF rather than assuming they are hidden.
