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.
