OfficeToPDF Command Line is a Command Line utility that converts Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 documents from their native format into PDF using Office's in-built PDF export features.
Most Office to PDF converter tools are intended as single-user desktop applications. OfficeToPDF is useful (and unique) if you want to automatically create PDF files on a server-wide basis and individual users from an extra step of using the "Save as..." command on their Office files. These PDF files can then be stored and managed on a separate server. This can be useful if, for example, a department has a policy of only distributing PDF versions of documents to people outside the department.
There are some technical requirements that must be met before you can use it:
* .NET Framework 4
* Office 2016, 2013, 2010 or Office 2007
If you are using Office 2007, you will also need:
* Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime [Download].
* 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS.
Supported File Types. The following file types can be converted:
* Word (.doc, .dot, .docx, .dotx, .docm, .dotm, .rtf, .wpd)
* Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xlt, .xltx, .xltm, .csv)
* Powerpoint (.ppt, .pptx, .pptm, .pps, .ppsx, .ppsm, .pot, .potx, .potm)
* Visio (.vsd, .vsdx, .vsdm, .svg) [Requires ]= Visio 2013 for .svg, .vsdx and .vsdm
support]
* Publisher (.pub)
* Outlook (.msg, .vcf, .ics)
* Project (.mpp) [Requires Project ]= 2010 for .mpp support]
* OpenOffice (.odt, .odp, .ods)
Conversion of Visio, Publisher and Project files require that the Visio,
Publisher and Project applications are installed. These are not included in the
Office standard package.
