NAME

office2pdf - convert Microsoft™ Office files to PDF

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/office2pdf [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

office2pdf [ -n ][ file... }

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

convert one or more Microsoft™ Office file(s) to *.pdf file(s).

Each recognized Office file file1.ext is converted to file1.pdf as long as the destination file ( file1.pdf ) does not exist already.

The office2pdf command should be installed to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer' for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke office2pdf -i once.

 

OPTIONS

-h
usage message.

-i
install the office2pdf command as menu point 'office2pdf' to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Windows Explorer'.

-u
uninstall the office2pdf shortcut from the 'Send To' context menu in 'Windows Explorer'.

-V
print program version.

-n
non interactive execution. This prevents the message box dialog at the end of the program execution. Using -n the office2pdf command can be used in batch processing without any user intervention.

file...
list of *.ext files to convert to *.pdf . When installed in the 'Send To' menu the selected file(s) in 'Windows Explorer' are passed as a list of files to the office2pdf command and all given files are converted and saved as a separate PDF file.

If no file is specified, you are queried to select the file(s) by a open file box dialog where you then can select file(s) to be processed.
