What Makes DOCX Conversion Different From DOC
DOCX uses a different internal structure than DOC - and requires a converter that understands the difference.
DOC is the binary format used by older Word versions. DOCX (introduced in Word 2007) uses an XML-based Open Document format. DOCX supports a wider range of features: theme-based formatting, content controls, SmartArt, advanced table styles, and structured document parts.
When converting DOCX specifically, it's important that the converter interprets the XML structure correctly - not just renders a screen preview. iMZi PDF processes DOCX files at the specification level, producing accurate PDF output regardless of which DOCX features your document uses.

DOCX Feature Support in the PDF Output

Content Controls Rendered
Text boxes, date pickers, and dropdown content controls from Word forms appear as static content in the PDF.
Advanced Table Styles
Word's built-in and custom table styles with conditional formatting are rendered accurately.

Footnote and endnote references and content are preserved in the correct positions in the PDF.
Cross-References
Internal cross-references (e.g., "See Section 3.2") maintain their accuracy in the output PDF.
DOCX is the Modern Standard - Convert It With a Modern Converter
Older PDF converters were built for the DOC format and do not fully support the DOCX specification. If you've ever had a DOCX convert with slightly wrong formatting - a shifted table, a different font, a missing image - it is likely because the converter did not fully support Open XML. iMZi PDF is built for the modern DOCX format and handles all its features correctly.
