If you have Acrobat 6 Pro, you can just go to the directory the Word files
are in, highlight all of them at once and then rightbutton click (okay,
maybe try a few at once for the first run). Select "Combine in Adobe
Acrobat" Or, in Acrobat, go File > Create PDF > From multiple files.
You can adjust the batch and conversion settings under preferences first. I
don't know what effect any pdf conversion settings you've last used in Word
will have. I've only used it a few times and never for anything complicated.
Plus there are numerous batch conversion programs that likely give you even
more options. Go to google and try "batch conversion" +pdf +word

Hi,
I am in the middle of converting a parts manual
written in word to pdf format. ...
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?
