No, it shouldn't.

Edit: Even if it does, saving it as a PDF creates a new copy so you'll still have the original word document anyway.

HI OP

it can change some formatting features.
It can change the way the document prints.

But usually normally formatted documents look no different when saved as pdf.

Best to save as pdf, then proof read.
