What it does
Batch-convert Word .doc/.docx files to PDF by driving LibreOffice headless, with a pandoc fallback, over a watched to-convert folder.
README.md
word-to-pdf-suite
Bundles the Word (.doc / .docx) → PDF batch conversion workflow as a single plugin.
Overview
word-to-pdf-suite keeps converted-pdf-files/ in sync with whatever is sitting under to-convert-word-files/. The skill enumerates the queue (missing or stale by mtime) and drives an external converter binary directly — there is no per-file agent, because DOCX→PDF is a mechanical binary transform, not an interpretive read. Pair this plugin with markdown-suite to chain DOCX → PDF → Markdown in one workflow.
Detection at run time: prefers soffice / libreoffice (headless), falls back to pandoc (needs a LaTeX engine for PDF output). If neither is available, the skill aborts cleanly with a clear error rather than producing partial output.
Plugin contents
- Skill
skills/convert-to-pdf/SKILL.md—/convert-to-pdf [pattern] [--list] [--debug]. Batch converter: enumerates.doc/.docxunderto-convert-word-files/, classifies each asmissing/stale/up-to-date, invokes the detected converter once per pending file, reports a final summary.--listis a dry-run;--debugprints the binary detected, per-file mtimes, the exact command run, and elapsed wall time.
The plugin ships no agent and no hooks — it's a pure user-triggered tool. A SessionStart conversion-queue notification could be added later mirroring markdown-suite, but for v1 the skill is self-contained.
The lessons that built each piece live in ../lessons/02-skills.md and ../lessons/04-plugins.md.
Testing the plugin
Dry-run inside Claude Code:
/convert-to-pdf --list
Should print the pending queue with one line per file and not convert anything. Word lock files (~$*.docx) are silently skipped.
Binary detection check (no Claude required):
command -v soffice || command -v libreoffice || command -v pandoc
# expect: a path to whichever converter is installed
# if all three are missing, /convert-to-pdf will abort with a clear error
End-to-end conversion:
Drop a small .docx into to-convert-word-files/, then:
/convert-to-pdf
Verify a corresponding .pdf appears under converted-pdf-files/ with the same relative path. Re-running with no changes should report all files up-to-date and skip them. From there, /convert-to-md will pick the PDF up and convert it to Markdown — the two suites compose.
