c development word batch to pdf source sharing

Microsoft Office Word itself already provides the ability to save as PDF documents, and for a small number of documents, manually converting Word to PDF is fine. Once you have to deal with a large number of documents, you may not be able to do it. However, for the Office environment already installed, with some simple code to achieve batch Word to PDF.

Two problems need to be paid attention to: (1) close the open document in the code in time, see 49 lines, otherwise a temporary file will be generated; Close the "WINWORD" thread in time, otherwise the Word document will be occupied by the thread.
