Convert2PDF

A Python3 application that converts multiple Office files into their PDF versions automatically.

Convert2PDF takes in a file type as input and exports all matching file extensions for that Office format (such as, a word document may have the extension .doc or .docx) and saves them in a separate directory, thus saving you the hassle of converting them all manually or looking for online converters. Made during the COVID-19 outbreak to kill Quarantine Boredom :P

Since comtypes primarily supports Windows, Convert2PDF will not work on other platforms :(

Getting Started

Convert2PDF requires comtypes and img2pdf to be installed. This can be done using a simple pip command.

pip install -r requirements.txt

That's it. You're good to go!
