# Convert2PDF
A Python3 application that converts multiple Office files into their PDF versions automatically.
Convert2PDF takes in a file type as input and exports all matching file extensions for that Office format (such as, a word document may have the extension .doc or .docx) and saves them in a separate directory, thus saving you the hassle of converting them all manually or looking for online converters. Made during the COVID-19 outbreak to kill Quarantine Boredom :P
*Since comtypes primarily supports Windows, Convert2PDF will not work on other platforms* :(
# Getting Started
Convert2PDF requires **comtypes** and **img2pdf** to be installed. This can be done using a simple pip command.
```pip install -r requirements.txt```
That's it. You're good to go!
# How to use Convert2PDF

You can convert all files in a directory using
```python Convert2PDF.py```
or
```python Convert2PDF.py -f *```
