How to transfer a series of Word files to pdf files?

It's annoying to open Word file one by one and save as pdf files manually. How to realize word2pdf function by matlab scripts?

matlab doesn't have word2pdf function. Implement your own word2pdf function like below following this link, then you can just

files = dir('*.docx');
for i=1:length(files)
   file = files(i);
   word2pdf(file);
end

It will convert all the word docs in the current folder into pdfs.

Your word2pdf could be a script like this:

function word2pdf(infile)
    wrd = actxserver('word.application');
    wrdDoc = wrd.Documents;
    wrdFile = wrdDoc.Open(infile);
    [fPath, fName, fExt] = fileparts(infile);
    outfile = fullfile(fPath, [fName '.pdf']);
    wrdFile.SaveAs2(outfile,17);
    wrdDoc.Close;
    wrd.Quit();
end
