After downloading [Office Server Document Converter](https://www.antennahouse.com/rainbow-overview), locate the documents that need to be converted and open the folder that it is saved in.

Create a new file and save as *name*.bat with the following code in it:

@ECHO OFF

for %%f in (*) do (  
echo "input: %%f"  
echo "output: %%~nf.pdf"

sbccmd -d %%f -o %%~nf.pdf -x 4  
)

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

Run the .bat file in command line.
