Prevent Word document formatting changes
When you send a contract as a Word file, you're sending an editable document that renders differently on every machine. Fonts shift, tables break, page numbers move — and you can't prove what the other party actually saw. Send an uneditable contract as PDF instead. Lock the layout and protect the document's legal integrity. Use the Word to PDF API to convert and lock before every send.
Lock Contracts Now- • Layout shifts depending on their Word version
- • They can edit clauses (intentionally or not)
- • "Less arguing about page numbers." — impossible
- • No proof of what they received
- • Identical rendering on every device
- • Uneditable without visible modification marks
- • Page numbers and citations stable
- • Audit-friendly delivery artifact

Why Word contracts create legal and operational risk
Layout drift between machines
Different OS, different fonts, different Word versions = different document. Clause numbers move. Tables reflow. Signatures end up on the wrong page.
Accidental (or intentional) edits
Word files can be edited. Even "track changes off" doesn't guarantee the document wasn't modified. PDF locks the text as-is.
No reliable delivery proof
If a dispute arises, you need to show what the counterparty received. A converted PDF is a timestamped artifact. A Word file is just an editable template.
