2 years ago I'm not entirely sure if this is possible.
Assuming you're on windows, as you can see in the below snippet:
The snippet is opening a document rather than relying on an "active" document. I think its best to just not actively have word open / use word during the conversion.

The issue is related to macOS so on JSX side of the code

2 years ago Got it. Attaching the relevant macOS snippet below. I see that it is indeed using activeDocument.
Doing a quick google search on other applescript and JXA implementations, it seems others are also relying on the "active document". I'm not sure if there's an alternative here.

What if we duplicate opening file into tmp directory then remove it after converting?
Thanks for this very useful script! Just noticed that running the script while we are working on a document on Microsoft Word will close our document window. Could you please open the printing document inside a new window/document so we will dont lose our work? Thank you again
