About This Feature

Overview

Create New PDF is a PDF creation feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets you generate a new PDF from different starting points inside the PDF workspace.

Core tasks include:

Create a blank PDF to start a new document from scratch.
Create a PDF from images to turn one or more pictures into PDF pages.
Create a PDF from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files to convert common Office documents into PDF format.

This feature is useful for document archiving, image-based record keeping, and preparing fixed-layout files for sharing or review. After the PDF is created, you can continue editing and saving the file in WPS PDF.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports creating a blank PDF and creating PDFs from images, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files in one PDF workspace.	Microsoft Office officially supports exporting or saving Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files as PDF, with the workflow centered on Office document output.	Google Docs officially supports downloading files and using Print to save documents as PDF, mainly for cloud document output.	Notion officially supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, mainly for page backup and sharing.	Adobe Acrobat officially supports creating PDFs from Microsoft documents, image files, scans, and HTML pages.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings blank PDF creation, image-to-PDF, and Office-to-PDF entry points together in one PDF workflow on Windows.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft guidance focuses on exporting existing Office files to PDF rather than starting a blank PDF inside a dedicated PDF workspace.	Compared with WPS: the official Google workflow focuses on document download or print-to-PDF, not a standalone PDF editing workspace for starting new PDF files.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on exporting existing pages and databases, and some broader PDF export options depend on plan level.	Compared with WPS: Adobe covers more source types such as scans and HTML pages, while WPS offers a more direct path inside an Office suite plus PDF workspace.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to create a new PDF directly on Windows and switch between blank, image-based, and Office-based starting points in one place, WPS provides a focused workflow. If your work depends more on page export from collaborative tools or on broader sources such as scans and web pages, other products may fit those scenarios better.
