To create a PDF document, you can use the program Adobe Acrobat Professional. However, there is another solution to this issue. For example, if you already have a ready-made .docx or .doc file (a regular file created in Word), then you can convert it to PDF in a few seconds. To do this, you will need a free add-on for your Microsoft Office suite.

I present to your attention the program PDFCreator. That's the original name, yes. It is, in fact, a simple pdf printer. But he has a special stray - he can, albeit in a roundabout way, convert many files.

In general, packet converters came across to me. They are usually paid and offer a trial version. Yep, I tried it. No wonder the trial. Some of them printed complete crap for me, killed the borders on the tables, shifted the elements and for some reason did not print some pictures. Others typed normally, but pushed their ads into the bottom of each page. Of course, you can remove it by purchasing the program, but one thing stops this (except for the difficulty of paying) - one file from two pages was converted for me in about 10 minutes! Really! I almost thought that the program hung. But no, the files were still born.

In general, PDFCreator is devoid of these shortcomings. Printing a document is pretty fast. Qualitatively. Borders do not disappear, pictures too. Nothing moves anywhere. Everything's OK. There are no ads. And another bonus - this program is absolutely free! Yes, and open source. It's just a holiday!

How to convert many documents to pdf in batch

So, how to use the program? You have to install it first, of course. Then we launch PDFCreator.

It is nothing but a pdf printer print queue. First of all, we need to make sure that when files are added to the queue, it does not try to print them yet, until we set everything up. Therefore, we climb into the "Printer" menu and click "Stop". There should be a checkmark next to this item.

Now let's add files. You can use the "Add" button in the panel, but I just selected all the files I needed and dragged them onto the PDFCreator window.

Next comes the magic. PDFCreator asks if you can make yourself the default printer. You need to answer yes. Do not be afraid, this is temporary and is needed just for automation. Then he starts opening the files one by one and pressing "Print" for each one. Since it is the default printer, all these files appear in the print queue. Of course, it doesn't look very good. In my case, Word windows flashed. But it's worth it. In general, we are waiting.

When all the documents appear in the print queue, it's time to set up export to pdf. To do this, go to the "Settings" menu and configure. It is important to get into the "Autosave" tab and configure it. In this case, PDFCreator will not ask you where to save and how to name each new converted file. In order for the output files to be named the same as the originals, but with a different extension, you need to specify a template in the "File name" field
