DocPdfy Home Page
DocPdfy
is a Windows command line executable to perform batch conversion of
Microsoft Word DOC files to the Adobe PDF format. In order to correctly use the
DocPdfy utility, you need:
1) Download and install the
GhostScript package for Win32 here
2) Add the GhostScript binaries directory
(typically inside "C:\Program
Files\gs\gsX.YZ\bin") to the system's PATH environment variable
3) Install a PostScript Color
LaserJet printer on your system (I'm currently using the "HP Color
LaserJet 8500 PS"). Note that you don't actually need to have the
printer attached to your system, since the purpose of this is to just
install the printer's drivers
4) You need to have Microsoft
Word installed on your system
Once you have performed the tasks listed above, you are ready to use
the DocPdfy utility. From a
command line shell (so called MSDOS Prompt), you can run the following:
C:> docpdfy [-D OUTDIR] [-p
PRINTERNAME] DOCFILE ..
DocPdfy
creates output file names using the same DOC input file path, with PDF
extension. Use the -D option to specify an output directory. Use the -p
option if the target PS color printer is not your default printer. DocPdfy accepts multiple input DOC
files and processes them sequentially.
