A small tool written by myself is used to convert word to pdf in batch. How to use it:
- Copy the full code into the document, And change the name to words2pdfs.py.
- Copy the file to the document directory to be converted
- Enter python words2pdfs.py in the terminal
- The terminal will list whether the following documents need to be converted. Enter yes.
- Note: after running, a pdfs folder will be generated in the current directory, which contains all the converted files
