Exporting DOCX to PDF by hand is tedious, and LibreOffice or library converters quietly mangle complex Word layouts.
active v0.1.0
DocxToPDF
Batch-convert DOCX to PDF using Word itself as the engine.
A keyboard-driven macOS tool that Spotlight-searches your whole Mac for DOCX files, lets you tick the ones you want, and exports them all in one Word session — so the PDFs match Word's own output, not a parser's guess.
A TypeScript TUI that finds DOCX via Spotlight, offers keyboard multi-select, and drives Microsoft Word over AppleScript to export in a single batch session.
Layout fidelity stays Word-exact, and the open-export-close loop disappears.
For anyone on a Mac who has to turn a pile of Word documents into faithful PDFs.
