In the command line interface, please type a command line based on the following syntax:

To make it more clear, a command line example is illustrated below. You can type a command line like the following one after $ in the command line interface:

/Volumes/html2any_cmd_mac/bin/office-to-any-converter /Users/svp/Desktop/input.doc /Users/svp/Desktop/output.pdf

  • /Volumes/html2any_cmd_mac/bin/office-to-any-converter—the executable file

  • /Users/svp/Desktop/output.pdf –the output directory and output PDF file name

It’s ok if you don’t want to add any option parameter. You can just put the directories and filenames of the executable file, input file, and output file in order in the command line interface. And then after you press Enter on your keyboard, you can wait for a few seconds and go to check the result PDF files. This is how you can convert Word to PDF on Mac.
