Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Office documents to PDF in a web application?

Nutrient Web SDK lets you convert DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files to PDF entirely in the browser, with no need for Microsoft 365, LibreOffice, or server infrastructure. It’s a fast, lightweight way to add Office conversion to any web app.

Does the conversion preserve original formatting, layout, and fonts?

Yes. Nutrient preserves the full layout fidelity of the source Office file, including font styles, colors, tables, images, and page structure. Dynamic and custom font loading ensure the final PDF looks just like the original.

Can I generate PDF/A-compliant files for archiving or compliance?

Absolutely. Nutrient supports PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2a, and PDF/A-4f export options. These conformance levels help you meet industry requirements for long-term preservation and document integrity.

Is it possible to convert Office files without showing them in the viewer?

Yes. You can convert documents in the background using convertToPDF() in Web SDK, or by posting directly to the /api/build endpoint via Document Engine. This enables silent, headless conversion workflows.

What if the document uses fonts not available in the SDK?

Nutrient provides two solutions: dynamic font fallback to replace missing fonts with visual equivalents, and custom font embedding for pixel-perfect rendering. Both options work client-side or server-side.

Which frameworks and environments does Nutrient support?

You can use Nutrient in any modern JavaScript framework — including React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and Blazor — or integrate with platforms like SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce. Mobile and .NET support is available via Document Engine.
