The thing about Pages is that it does not open a Word .docx natively. It translates it into Pages internal document format (.pages) before it can then export (or print) that .pages content back to PDF. Because of that translation, the accuracy of the original .docx can be off, and may result in a PDF that appears differently than if the .docx was shot to PDF by MS Word or LibreOffice Writer (Word clone).
