ClickTools button from the upper right>Click Action Wizard>Click Create New Action...>Click Save & Export from the left panen>Click Save>Click the button that it's located between the left and right pane>Click Specify Settings from the right panel.

Now, I checked the box called PDF Optimizer>Click Settings and then, on Images category, for Color Images and Greyscale Images I choosed Maximum Quality, which increase the file size, but it's OK for me.


When you want to convert, for example a bunch of .docx files to pdf, open Adobe Acrobat Professional, click Tools from the upper right, click Action Wizard, under Actions, click "Convert all to pdf at maximum quality", choose Add files or Add folder from the drop down menu located immediately under "Files to be processed:", browse and select the folder that contain .docx or other files formats, click OK, click Start.


2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.


3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:


4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:


I have the same problem and have tried to batch convert multiple word documents to pdfs, unsuccessfully. I have around 300+ word documents which need to be converted to pdf's and cannot imagine opening each one and saving as pdf.


I used the Action Wizard to create an action to do so, it gives an error "An unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. Whenever I try to select multiple word files into pdf's by selecting those manually, it throws the same error.


Can someone post assistance for the PDFMaker error or anything else that can resolve this? I have tried all the solutions and instructions posted in the various screenshots on this page but to no avail.


Open a powershell window (windows search bar - search 'windows powershell') and paste the following (update the path to the folder containing the files before pasting as pasting usually just executes the code immediately).


Hello, I am trying to convert multiple files with different extensions using the 'ConvertFile' automation, so that it can be display on the layout. However, when there are different types of files in one incident, it keeps giving me an error. What would be the best way to list all files and convert them by EntryID? Here what I currently have configure with the fields and transformations.


What error are you getting? ConvertFile can handle multiple files of different types with no issues (just tested on my instance), so if there's an issue with what you've got it seems likely it's in the Filter/Transformer section.


I was able to get this error: "Failed converting file. General exception: failed to get artifact file path, invalid file (52)" by manually deleting the referenced files from /var/lib/demisto/artifacts - can you check that directory to make sure the expected files are still there?


If you have a huge bundle of Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets and PowerPoint Presentations on your hard drive that you would like to convert into PDF at once without investing in commercial software like Adobe Acrobat, try Google Docs.


While it has always been possible to convert Office documents into PDF using Google Docs, the new export feature makes it even easier for you to batch convert Microsoft Office and OpenOffice file formats into PDF (or HTML) in three easy steps.Batch Conversion to PDF with Google Docs


[*] You may also use the email option to upload documents onto Google Docs but that would put everything on the main folder and managing documents can therefore become a issue especially when you have too many files.


Step #3 - Once all files are uploaded onto Google Docs, open the dashboard again and select the "input" folder from the right sidebar. Select all the files in this folder and choose "Export" under "More Options".


And if you are converting a large batch of documents into PDF, you don't have to wait in the browser for the conversion to finish as Google Docs will automatically send you an email once the processing is over. The email will have a link from where you can directly download all the PDF files in one large ZIP.


This doesn't work if you have associated .js files with some kind of editor like Notepad++. In this case you also have to specify the engine to use, otherwise cscript will show you an error message. This is easily achieved by using the //E:jscript command line parameter:


Regarding the SaveAsPDF.js script that a previous user posted. This worked for converting one pdf file, but i didnt know how to covert all the files in a directory. With a little playing I created a file. CovertAll2PDF.bat with the following 2 lines:


there is also the /r "Parent Directory" which can be inserted as for /r "PD" %%X in -.... which will go through all the directories, in that case make it C:\SaveAsPDF.js and save Saveaspdf.js in that directory.


I've not tried it but there is a batch method using OpenOffice.org that you could test. Instructions on doing this on GNU/Linux and Windows platforms described at -faq.com/convert-word-to-pdf.shtml (and also at _MS_Word.html" and, at =3772).


Similar to other answers, this approach uses win32com in Windows and JXA (Javscript for Automation, basically AppleScript in JS) in macOS. However, it is packaged up into an easily installable and ready to batch convert package with a progress bar.


If the Word docs are simple and if you do not need the Word docs' formatting to be present in the PDF docs, you can use a simple loop around my DOCXtoPDF programs's core code, to do what you want. DOCXtoPDF internally uses xtopdf, my Python toolkit for PDF creation from many other formats. You also need ReportLab 1.21 installed.


If you want a quick and simple online method for 20 or less files then use this website online2pdf, here you can upload your files, choose some options and then click convert, it will convert all the documents and then automatically download a single zip file containing the PDF files.


I found a Post that Viking OSX created a (amazing) script for someone to run in LibreOffice to convert Word Perfect files to Pages. I have the same question about converting Microsoft Word Documents and Word docs as they are currently labeled as Kind in my documents. The OS version I have is 10.15.4 and Pages is 10.0 I thought I could change some of script to fit my parameters but it didn't work. I'm new to Automator but it seems like a pretty straightforward process following Viking's steps and I've double-checked to be sure I didn't miss any and they're all there. Below is a link to the original question Viking answered in case its easy for someone to just edit the script for my needs. I'd love to do the same thing for Excel files to Numbers since I don't use MS Office anymore but I'm grateful to start with this request first. Thanks in advance.


Just to clarify, the script that converted 3000 WordPerfect documents to Word .docx was done with LIbreOffice. Even then, not all WP documents converted, and a handful required manual intervention. Only Pages can save in Pages document format, or open Pages documents, and then it better be a recent version of Pages.


I just tossed together a simplistic script that allows one to drag and drop Word documents, or a folder of Word documents onto the application, and it will save in Pages document format. At present, it simply writes the Pages document in the same location as the original Word document. An unfortunate side-effect of the conversion process is that Pages has to launch for each document, which can be distracting.


It is not complete, and there is no error handling, which one will surely need during translation of Word documents to Pages. There will be incidences where error handling will be of no use, as once Pages tosses a dialog box of any kind, the script is done at that point.


Anyone know of a way to convert all of my video files into a standard format but retain the bitrate and resolution? I love the built-in Emby conversion process but it's going to take forever and I don't want it consuming resources of my Emby server - I'd like to do it from another PC. The problem I'm running in to is I don't want them to end up with the same resolution and bitrate. If it's 1080p now, I'd like to keep it that way. If it's 4k now, I'd like to retain that. Same for a file that's either 60Mbps or 25Mbps, I don't want them all 60Mbps or 25Mbps. I just want to change the format (or container/codec, is that the right term?) so that's it plays better on a Roku, Firestick or Android TV.
