# Converts a DOC or DOCX document to PDF.

`POST /pdf/docx/`

Converts a Microsoft Word document (.DOCX or .DOC) file to a PDF document.

This service uses a LibreOffice headless server to perform the conversion, and may not support all features of the original document.

**Known discrepancies**

* Some fonts may not be available in the server, and may be substituted by a closest match.
* Some complex formatting may not be preserved, such as background graphics.

**Variables**

Variable replacement is supported with various methods:

* Templated litterals: `{{name}}`
* Word variables, as listed in the document metadata: `{DOCVARIABLE "name"}`

To enable variable replacement as Word variables for your account, please contact the FileForge support.
