Automatically convert Word file to PDF Thu May 30, 2013 11:54 pm • by mlevison
Is possible to automate the creation/export of a PDF file from a word doc everytime I save a file?

How about Keynote?

Cheers

You would probably need to use Automator or AppleScript to do that.

Nice find, novajunior. Having Hazel run a script that creates PDFs directly with Word when files are saved has no extra overhead since Word's already running.
