Hi Users,

Whenever I try to incorporate shell scripts into my As, I fall on my face. I am trying to create a script that will change a folder of Microsoft word documents into PDF files without opening them.
I am trying to use a convert script as is below, but it does not work as I do not have the knowledge required. This is what I've got so far:


set terminalCommand to "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/./convert -f \"&" /original file\ -o \test1.pdf\ -j \application/pdf\"

I shall have to convert Word documents into PDF in little time, and I was expecting scripting Pages. Do you have some information that convert can do that? I would not expect so.


Also, I suppose that users who are smart with Word can do that by scripting Word. I would suppose that Paul be able to do that.
