I got a lot of Microsoft Word Documents form one of our professors at KTSI. But Evernote only supports text recognition inside PDFs. So I converted all Word Documents to PDF with the Mac OS X Automator.
How to convert Word Documents to PDF:
- Open Automator under Mac OS X
- Add a “Get Specified Finder Items” object
- Select the Word Documents
- Add another “Convert Format of Word Documents” object
- Set the Format to ” Portable Document Format (PDF)”
- Now click run and the Automator will convert all your Word Documents and you can find them in the same folder as the Word Documents

I’ve been trying to use automator to convert hundreds of doc files to pdf but I don’t have a “documents” type in my automator, let alone a “Convert Format of Word Documents” action. Where do I get this action?
Do you have Office for Mac or iwork installed?
I get the following error: “Convert Format of Word Documents failed – 1 error — The object you are trying to access does not exist (-1728)” Any clue how I get past this error? I have Office for Mac 2011 installed (version 14.1.0).
I have the same problem, if I select any other format i.e…. HTML RTF the script runs fine. but when I select PDF it makes the first one and crashes. Has anyone found a solution or work-around to this???
same here!
I have the same issue as Baro, no documents tab shows up as an option. I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac installed, I do not have the home or student editions. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks.
