While legacy form fields are typically preserved as editable form fields in the resulting PDF document, content controls are converted to plain text. The [PreserveFormFields](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.DocToPDFConverter.DocToPDFConverterSettings.html#Syncfusion_DocToPDFConverter_DocToPDFConverterSettings_PreserveFormFields) API specifically retains the interactive nature of legacy form fields, not content controls. +To ensure that form fields remain editable in the PDF converted from Word document, it is recommended to use [Text](https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/working-with-form-fields#text-form-field), [Checkbox](https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/working-with-form-fields#check-box), and [Drop-down](https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/working-with-form-fields#drop-down) form fields instead of content controls in the Word document.
