Hand a document to another app
Move common document formats between the files people actually use.
XPS to PDF
XPS was Microsoft's answer to PDF, and it lost. What remains is a long tail of files produced by the virtual printer that shipped in Windows for a decade, sitting in archives and shared drives, increasingly hard to open on the machines that made them.
PDF to Word
PDF to DOCX gives the text layer of a PDF a new home in an editable Word document. It is useful for revising ordinary prose, searching a contract, or handing a text-heavy report to someone who works in Word. It is not a faithful PDF reconstruction. This server route extracts text first, then asks the document converter to write that text as DOCX. The intermediate text step means the original page geometry, fonts, images, annotations, columns, headers, and table structure are not preserved as a designed page. A scanned PDF may yield an empty or sparse document because extraction is not OCR. Treat the result as an editing starting point and compare it with the source before publishing or signing anything.
Word to PDF
A Word file is a set of instructions for laying out text; a PDF is the finished page. Converting fixes the layout so it looks the same everywhere, which is why anything being sent outward — a CV, an invoice, a contract — should go as PDF. One thing genuinely moves during that conversion, and it is worth knowing which.
