Mac Shortcuts

[mzuniga51]

Hello everyone! I'm trying to find a way to convert word and ppt docs to pdf's with pandoc. Ideally there should be a few mac shortcuts or applescripts that can do the following:
a. Convert one word or ppt document to pdf
b. Batch convert a few word or ppt documents to pdf
c. Combine word documents in one single pdf document
Problem is I'm quite newby to pandoc and I have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance to the community.

Here is a shortcut to convert epub to html (the path of pandoc may need to be changed): https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/af4970950e334663aa45f69c99c96494

You can use it as a start and create your own automation tools. In addition, Keyboard Maestro, Alfred, Raycast can also be used to execute pandoc commands.

Many thanks Tom!
Now I have successfully converted your shortcut to convert word to pdf lookin like this: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/61aef27deb054dacbdeb08a90fe7ebe2
Still no idea how to make it so I can convert several documents in one go or consolidate several word docs on a single pdf. Any help there is highly appreciated!

I have not tested Apple Shortcuts, but you can refer to this question and answers below.

I created a Keyboard Maestro macro to convert DOCX files to PDF, which supports multiple input files.

You can download it here.

It is easy to modify this macro to add steps to concatenate converted PDFs into a single one.
