How do I Convert a Folder full of Microsoft Word Documents to Adobe PDF Format?
-
Even though it is easy to convert one [file at a time](ConvertDocToFilePDF.md), Sometimes you need to convert an entire directory of Word Documents to PDFs. You can do this easily on the command line using [Docto](https://github.com/tobya/docto).
The command line below shows how you can convert all the Microsoft Word Documents in a folder to a Adobe PDF Format file - PDF. If you provide a directory rather than a single file, docto knows to convert all the documents in that directory.
Command Line
-
````
docto -WD -f 'c:\path\todocuments' -o 'c:\path\toOutputfiles' -t wdFormatPDF
````
or easier to read
````
docto -WD
-f 'c:\path\todocuments'
-o 'c:\path\toOutputfiles'
-t wdFormatPDF
````
