Hi,
I am in the middle of converting a parts manual
written in word to pdf format. Every 2 pages of the
manual go together, with a drawing of the component(s)
on the left page, and the part numbers in a table on
the right page.
For various reasons, (primarliy the instabilty of Word
when the size of the document gets large - many of the
drawings are complex autocad .dwg files imported into
Word), every two pages has been saved as a separate
file. There are about 150 such files so you can
imagine how tedious it is to convert the manual to
pdf.
Would anyone know of a method to do a mass conversion
from .doc to .pdf other than opening each .doc file
and printing it to an Acrobat PDFWriter printer and
then saving it? As bad as it is to have to go through
this process for every two pages of this manual,
moving forward there will be similar manuals to be
produced for other models of machines.
Thanks,
Tom.
