Hello,
I’ve had a few observations while working with file conversions from .docx to .pdf. It seems that while individual pages convert fine, merging them causes issues—lines get scrambled or missing. Could you explain why?
Also, regarding the second question: can I edit a converted PDF in the same way as a .doc file? For instance, if I want to move content from the second half of a page to the top, is that possible? I’ve tried some online editors but it hasn’t worked.

The conversion process involves specific tools and methods. Some documents work well with certain formats while others struggle. This might be due to differences in features supported by different software, such as MS Word versus PDF editors. I've tried various options, including multiple Adobe Acrobat versions, but now rely on this particular tool for its comprehensive capabilities and free availability.

If you're on Windows, there's a print to PDF function. It acts like a printer, but instead saves the document as a PDF.
So if you still can edit the original file, I find this the way to go when converting to PDF.

Printing to PDF follows the identical workflow as converting to PDF unless the file includes "Rich content" like hyperlinks, multimedia, bookmarks, or TOC. Additionally, for most documents I've used Print to PDF on, the text generated after opening in a PDF editor cannot be edited.
