This module can be used to convert files singly or in bulk using the command line or a python program.
Installation
This module does not come built-in with Python. To install this module type the below command in the terminal.

Conversion using the command line
The basic structure of the docx2pdf command line usage is:

Original GFG.docx on the left and GFG.pdf on the right
For the bulk conversion, you can specify the folder containing all the Docx files. The converted pdfs will get stored in the same folder.

You can also explicitly specify the input and output file or folder by specifying the path.
