On experiment. It is obvious that convert can not convert word
documents to pages, so currently I am working towards GUI scripting.
There are problems in this method too as some buttons are un-named.
When I have a script that works, I'll post it.

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.
