I have a PowerShell script that converts Word documents to PDF.  Now that Word 2013 can read PDF's directly and can then save the PDF as a Word document, is there a way to do so in PowerShell?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

It looks like you can use  the SaveAs2 method to achieve this:

Here's a reference article for using the Word COM object in PowerShell:

hey michael

im not sure you can do it with PowerShell...

Ive been searching for some free software that will do it properly for a while but none of them actually work :/

E/ there are many free sites you can use... ive been using http://pdftoword.pro/ but it doesnt convert the pdf properly...
