furby Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've got a couple of folders, and potentially many others, that I want to convert the word documents to PDF. I've got Acrobat Pro 9 and when I use the Print option (To Adobe 9.0) in Word it creates the right document. Using the save to PDF function doesn't compress the file, which is what I'm trying to do. I figure I can set some Automator or Apple Script to do this but I can't seem to figure it out. Was hoping someone else has done something similar or could point me in the right direction.

furby Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 No worries, found something that might work with a bit of tinkering Adobe Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furby Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 No joy, the actual printing seems to really stress the mac and just times out. Applescript seems to work a bit better but I've no real idea what I'm doing. Think I'm going to have to find a windows machine and do it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted September 7, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2009 Replace default printer with the Acrobat printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furby Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Oddly, running it through automator didn't work but using the context menu worked perfectly. For the future might try and figure out a way to get it to check for word documents in a folder and print them to that folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
