Kruti Dev to PDF

Turn a Word file typed in Kruti Dev or DevLys into a PDF with real Hindi text that shows on any computer and can be searched and copied.

What you can do

Hindi typed in Kruti Dev or DevLys is turned into standard (Unicode) Hindi as the PDF is made, so “fd;k” comes out as “किया”.
Word files (.docx, .doc, .odt, .rtf) with Hindi and English together: only the Kruti Dev text is changed.
Body text, headers, footers, footnotes and comments are all converted; tables and layout are kept.
The PDF opens straight in NightOwl to sign, number, merge or compress.

Works on your computer: the file is not uploaded. The converter (about 77 MB) downloads the first time and is kept by your browser.
The Hindi is set in Noto Sans Devanagari, a standard Hindi font, so the words are the same but the letter shapes differ slightly from Kruti Dev.
It needs a computer with about 2 GB of free memory; phones may not manage it.
Already have a PDF made from Kruti Dev? PDF to Word turns its Kruti Dev text into standard Hindi in the Word file.

Kruti Dev draws Hindi letters in place of English keys, so the text underneath is English letters. Making the PDF here stores real Hindi instead.

Yes. NightOwl converts the Kruti Dev 010 key layout (Remington), the most common one, and DevLys.
