Use docx2pdf as an automator service

[sabbasabba]

I myself am not good at coding, but is there a way to make this work as an automator service? I've come across your tool because I'm desperately looking for a simple automator service that converts .docx files to .PDF files. All the solutions I've found don't seem to work anymore. Some are not compatible with Catalina, others require CUPS (not available under Catalina) while others rely on Word-Automator library actions not available anymore. So could I make your solution work in Automator? Manually copying folder paths into Terminal is very cumbersome... Best wishes!

Thanks @sabbasabba, I actually had another request for this as well. It's definitely something I'd like to look into.

I think it's easy that you could add a service in Mac Automator and then call a shell script like:

#!/bin/bash
# set -e

# get full file path and name
filename=$1
echo ${filename}  >> ~/data/word2pdf.log

# 执行python
/usr/bin/python /your_python_filepath/word2pdf.py ${filename}

echo "succeed......" >> ~/data/word2pdf.log

Then you could right click on a file then choose quick action to complete the workflow.
