Add a Word letterhead to every print job
Convert the letterhead PDF that’s already on your press into an editable Word file — an extra deliverable, and an extra line on the invoice.
The job is already in your hands
A print shop running a letterhead job already has everything the digital version needs: the print-ready PDF, approved by the customer and sitting in the job folder. The customer is paying for the print run.
And very often, when they pick up the box of letterhead, they ask the same question — can I also type on this? — because plenty of their letters get emailed, not mailed.
Most shops have no good answer. The shop is a print operation, not a software vendor; rebuilding the letterhead in Word is not work it is set up to do, and a generic online converter would wreck the artwork the shop just printed. So the customer is told no, or sent elsewhere — and a piece of revenue that was sitting right there walks out the door with them.
A few minutes, a new line item
Letterhead Lab makes the Word version a quick add-on to the print job. Take the same approved PDF and run it through the converter; in about a minute you have a Microsoft Word .docx with the artwork locked into the header and footer — the digital letterhead matching the sheet you just printed, because both came from the same file.
There is no design work and no proofing round: the converter crops the existing PDF, it does not recreate anything. That makes it clean to price. Most shops add the Word conversion as a separate line on the print invoice — the customer is already paying for the job, the work is minutes, and the result is a deliverable the customer actually asked for.
You can run this with each job as it comes through, or build it in as a standard part of every letterhead order. For shops that want to offer it at scale — letting account customers convert their own letterheads under the shop’s name — the Shop plan adds a branded converter; the print shops page covers that. Either way, every letterhead you print becomes a letterhead you can also deliver in Word.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need the customer's design source files?
- No — just the print-ready PDF you already have for the print run. The converter crops it; there is no design work or typesetting.
- Will the Word version match the printed letterhead?
- Yes. The conversion uses your print PDF as the source and places the artwork as an image, so the digital and printed letterheads are the same design.
- How should I price it?
- Most shops add it as a separate line item on the print invoice. The work is a few minutes per letterhead, so it is largely margin on a job you already have.
- Do I have to do the conversion for the customer?
- You can — or, with the Shop plan, give account customers a branded link so they convert their own letterheads under your shop's name.
- Is the PDF uploaded during conversion?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in the browser. The customer's PDF is never sent to our servers.
