How to Convert Any Document to PDF for Free
For Word documents, use the Word to PDF Converter. For photos and images, use the JPG to PDF Converter. For files in other formats (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs), use the print to PDF function in your operating system: on Windows, select Microsoft Print to PDF as the printer; on Mac, use the PDF button in the print dialog to Save as PDF.
PDF Security: Are Your Files Safe Online?
When using ReadyGoTools PDF tools, your files are processed and then automatically deleted after conversion. Files are not permanently stored, indexed, or shared. Processing happens server-side with secure HTTPS connections. For sensitive legal or financial documents, consider using the built-in desktop methods (Microsoft Word, Mac Preview) if you prefer files never to leave your device.
Common PDF Problems and How to Fix Them
PDF opens sideways or upside down? Fix it with the Rotate PDF tool.
Need to edit text in a PDF? Convert to Word first using the PDF to Word Converter, edit the text, then convert back with the Word to PDF Converter.
Need to add photos to a PDF document? Use the JPG to PDF Converter to combine photos into a PDF, then use Adobe Acrobat or another tool to merge the two PDFs.
