#Why do my word documents open in word perfect pdf#
Author the document so the PDF comes out the way you want it to, and then share that with your client. When sharing finished documents with others, use PDF. If you do need to exchange a document such that others can edit and make changes to it, Word’s “.doc” and “.docx” formats are what you need just don’t expect the document to look the same everywhere. Consider it a display-only format - not unlike the paper it’s intended to replace. Depending on the document, it can be, to some limited extent, but that’s not its purpose at all. PDF is not a format designed to be edited. The resulting PDF file can be viewed anywhere with a PDF reader and should look, and even print, exactly the same as your original PDF. PDF creation acts like a printer - but a printer that’s the same everywhere. The interface used to save as PDF often looks very much like an interface you use to print the document.

Different system, different lookĪnother common difference is fonts, which are not the same across systems. Default margins, paper size, and other differences in both capability and configuration can make a document appear very differently when viewed or printed on one system as compared to another. When Word displays a document in a print layout or page view, it uses the characteristics of the currently-selected printer to determine what the document will look like when printed. Word processors like Word are generally designed to produce documents to be printed. In a nutshell: it’s all about the printer. Your client is on the right track: that’s exactly what PDF is for.
