At my job, I sometimes have to convert a bunch of Word documents to PDF. As this is tedious to do manually, I have written a small utility that lets me automate the process. I'm now sharing it for free with the world.
This is a small utility that lets you choose a bunch of files and converts them to PDF.
Download Word PDF Converter 1.0
There are a few prerequisites to run the software:
- Word 2007
- Save as PDF plugin (free from Microsoft)
- .NET Framework (free from Microsoft) - at least version 2.0
I'm also providing the source code for the app, so you can see how it works, and use it as sample code in your own apps.

Instructions on using the software:
Click on Add Files or Add Directory and choose the files that you want to convert. Add Files will let you choose any files that you want (as long as Word can open them, they should work), Add Directory will only add files with extensions of .DOC or .DOCX in the directory that you choose. Then just hit the convert button, and once it finishes you'll find the PDF files in the same directory as the original files.
I hope you find this little app handy and useful.
