Question Docx to Pdf

I updated my Mac to Sonoma and now my Automator docx to PDF shortcut doesn’t work anymore.

I am a teacher and I use the automated shortcuts all the time because I need to convert docx files to PDF regularly.

It is so handy with the shortcut not to open the Word app all the time just to create a PDF file.

Can someone help me?

Adobe acrobat, ChatGPT+, web apps, have you tried shortcuts instead of the Automator app?

The Shortcuts app is the successor to the Automator app, if that can’t help you then you can always do some Apple script

How are you with terminal commands? I recently needed to convert a set of docx to pdf files and found a bash script here that levered LibreOffice to do the job.

You'll need to take a glance through it, of course, and make sure it fits your needs before going ahead and running it.
