Content controls behave differently from legacy form fields, such as Text, Checkbox, and Drop-down fields, during conversions to PDF format. 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. Additionally, to preserve the form fields as editable in the resulting PDF, set the [PreserveFormFields](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/file-formats/Syncfusion.DocToPDFConverter.DocToPDFConverterSettings.html#Syncfusion_DocToPDFConverter_DocToPDFConverterSettings_PreserveFormFields) API to true.
