You're not doing anything wrong. Just read the
last paragraph of the Description in
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html
If you just want a PDF that looks exactly like the
docx itself, pandoc isn't the tool to use. On a Mac,
you could use Word itself (print to PDF). This might
be scriptable, I don't know. Perhaps LibreOffice
could also do it.
