After downloading Office Server Document Converter, locate the document that needs to be converted and open the folder that it is saved in.

Open the command line from the folder by holding down the Shift key and right clicking the window. Select *Open command window here*.

In the command window, type in:

sbccmd -d "originalfilename.doc" -o "outputfilename.pdf"

Hit enter. Your new converted PDF file will appear in the same folder as the original Word doc.
