About the formats
About DOC
DOC is the pre-2007 Word format, a binary container that predates the XML-based DOCX. It is normally used for older documents and archives created before Office 2007. It is a closed binary format, so fewer tools read it reliably than DOCX.
About PDF
PDF fixes a document's layout so it looks the same wherever it is opened, which is why it is the usual format for anything final. It is normally used for contracts, invoices, reports, forms and anything meant to be printed or archived. A PDF is designed to be read rather than edited, so changing the text after the fact is awkward.
What to expect
- This older Office format is handled by a third-party service, not FilesMagic's own engine.
What happens to your file
FilesMagic's own engine does not perform this conversion yet, so the file is sent to a third-party conversion service to be processed. If you would rather not use an outside provider for a particular document, use a conversion handled by FilesMagic's own engine instead.
Questions
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
Yes, and not to us. FilesMagic's own engine cannot do this conversion yet, so the file is passed to a third-party conversion service. Conversions handled by our own engine are marked as such.
Does converting DOC to PDF reduce quality?
Neither format discards detail, so the image data survives the conversion intact. Only the file size changes.
How big a file can I convert?
Files can be up to 25 MB. That is generous for this format - if a file is larger than that it is usually because of embedded images, and compressing those before converting normally brings it well under the limit.
