I have an application need to print a MS Word .docx file from the command line. The background is this is on Snow Leopard Server with CUPS-PDF as the default printer. If in the finder I click once on the .docx file to select and then select print from the file menu it opens MS Word (2011 is installed) and prints the file to the spool (via CUPS) in PDF format. Perfect! Now what is the BASH command equivalent of that???

I have tried lpr, which only appears to work with straight text files. I have tried OPEN which OPENS MS Word but I see no 'print' option for open. I have tried the usual MS Office equivalent (OpenOffice and LibreOffice) which both work but the generated PDF layout is so far from that generated by Word that it is shamefully unacceptable. I tried using osascript = AppleScript = which works but is spotty - it does not always trigger.

My challenge is I am creating the .docx outside of word from a template with a PHP program and just need to convert it to PDF retaining all formatting.

Take a look at launch, available here: http://sabi.net/nriley/software/, also easy to install using homebrew or macports.

It is like open, but adds some extra features, including

If you have the Automator action 'Convert Format of Word Document' installed, you could write an Automator workflow and then try to use the automator command line tool (see man automator).

Another option might be to use PDFwriter for Mac (hosted on sourceforge) or CUPS-PDF for Mac OS X (by codepoetry) and then use the command line ...

OP's solution extracted from question:

No Manual Feed Option On Mac Os X Print Screen

using launch and PDFwriter with the Ruby Script below.


Another way to convert a MS Word .docx document into a PDF file on Mac OS X would be to use the qlmanage command that ships with Mac OS X.

qlmanage can be used to transform a .docx document into a directory that contains a Preview.html file, a PreviewProperties.plist file and perhaps some dumped attachment files. After tweaking Preview.html a bit, a PDF file can be generated by using wkhtmltopdf (or wkpdf or prince).
