Why Krutidev Files Used to Fail — and How This Is Fixed
Krutidev and DevLys are legacy ASCII-mapped fonts. This means the actual characters stored in the file are standard English ASCII characters (like lsok esa), but they are visually rendered as Hindi glyphs only when the Krutidev font is applied. Without the font, you see garbled English characters.
The problem: Most converters extract raw text and display it in a default font (like Arial or Times New Roman). ASCII characters like lsok esa] then appear as-is — not as Hindi text.
The fix in this tool: The DOCX XML is parsed to read the <w:rFonts> tag for every paragraph and text run. If a font like Kruti Dev 010 or DevLys 010 is detected, that font name is preserved and applied in the print HTML via CSS font-family. The browser then uses the font installed on your system to render the glyphs correctly — exactly as they appear in Word.
Important: For the PDF to show Krutidev Hindi text correctly, the Krutidev font must be installed on your computer. If it is installed (which it will be on any computer that was used to type the document), the PDF will render perfectly. If you are opening the PDF on a different device without Krutidev installed, the text will again appear as ASCII characters on that device.

What Is a Word to PDF Converter?
A Word to PDF converter transforms Microsoft Word .docx documents into PDF format — a universally readable, layout-locked file type required by government portals, job application systems, universities, and courts across India and worldwide.
In Hindi-speaking regions across India, millions of official documents — police complaints, government applications, court affidavits, district office letters — are typed using legacy fonts like Krutidev and DevLys. These fonts were the standard before Unicode Hindi became widespread. Converting these documents to PDF without a font-aware tool produces unreadable garbled text. This tool solves that problem specifically.
Unlike most online converters that upload your file to a server (creating privacy risks for sensitive official documents), this tool processes everything locally in your browser. Your complaint letter, affidavit, or application never leaves your device.

Read the Full Guide →Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Word to PDF converter free?
Yes, completely free with no registration or payment required.
Does it support Krutidev and DevLys Hindi fonts?
Yes. The tool detects Krutidev and DevLys font usage in your DOCX and applies the font in the PDF output so Hindi text renders correctly — provided the font is installed on your computer.
Does my file get uploaded to any server?
No. Your Word document is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
Why was Hindi text showing as garbled characters before?
Krutidev and DevLys are legacy fonts that map ASCII characters to Hindi glyphs. Without the font applied, the text looks like random English characters. This tool reads the font name from the document XML and applies it correctly.
What file formats are supported?
This tool supports DOCX files (Microsoft Word 2007 and later). The older binary .doc format is not supported for browser-based processing.
Which legacy Hindi fonts are supported?
Krutidev 010, Krutidev 011, DevLys 010, and common variants are detected. The font name is read from the document XML and applied to the output. The font must be installed on your device for glyphs to render.
What page sizes are available?
A4 (standard in India and most of the world) and Letter (US standard). Both portrait and landscape orientations are supported.
Does this tool work on mobile?
Yes, it works on modern mobile browsers. However, legacy fonts like Krutidev are unlikely to be installed on mobile devices, so Hindi text may not render correctly on phones unless the font is installed.
Is there a file size limit?
No server-side limit. Processing happens entirely in your browser. Very large files may take a moment depending on your device.
Why does a print dialog open instead of a direct download?
Browsers use their built-in PDF engine via the print dialog. Select "Save as PDF" as the printer destination and click Save to download your PDF.
Can I convert documents with mixed Hindi and English text?
Yes. The tool preserves per-paragraph and per-run font information. Hindi paragraphs in Krutidev and English paragraphs in Times New Roman or Calibri will each use their respective fonts in the output.
What happens to my document after conversion?
Nothing is stored. All document data is cleared from browser memory when you close or refresh the page.
