Convert a folder of PDF files to DOC using Solid Converter PDF

Our last post focused on quickly converting multiple PDF files to DOC using Solid Converter PDF to Word. But what if you have dozens or even hundreds of PDF files in a folder that you need to convert to DOC? This kind of situation may call for a batch file.

What is a batch file? Simply put, a batch file is a script that can control programs on your computer. Solid Converter PDF has several options that can be controlled via batch files, including converting PDF files to DOC.

Convert all of the PDF files in a folder to DOC

To see this in action open up Notepad (Start | All Programs | Accessories | Notepad) and copy the two lines below into a blank page:

set scpdf="c:\Program Files\SolidDocuments\SolidConverterPDF\SCPDF\SolidConverterPDF.exe"
for %%p in (*.pdf) do %scpdf% /i ./%%p /n

Next, save the file in a folder that contains PDF files that you want to convert to DOC. We recommend using a name ending in .bat such as bulk_pdf_converter.bat.

You can then open My Computer, browse to the batch file you just made and double click it. A command prompt will appear and Solid Converter PDF will attempt to convert all of the PDF files that are in the same folder at the batch file to DOC.
