Converting multiple Word files to PDF - Automator

[Okansar]

Hello,

I'm using a Macbook Tahoe. Previously, when I right-clicked on a Word document, the "Convert to PDF" option appeared. This option is no longer visible, and what could be the reason?

I also tried adding a quick action to convert Word documents to PDF using the Automator application, but it didn't work. What should I do next?

The “Convert to PDF” action in Automator was provided by Microsoft’s Word or another third party application (Adobe Acrobat). It was not part of Automator’s default actions.

If you have LibreOffice installed (it’s free), you can create a QuickAction in Automator.

Code:

for f in "$@"
do
d=${1%/*}
cd "$d"
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to pdf "$f"
done
