Batch Convert Word DOC to RTF
Working with a lot of Word documents and want to convert them all to another format like Rich Text Format (RTF) ? If you’re on GNU/Linux and have Abiword installed, you’re in luck!
CONVERTS ALL WORD DOC FILES IN CURRENT DIRECTORY TO RTF
abiword —to=rtf *.doc
Other formats Abiword can convert to:
abw, zabw, rtf, txt, utf8, html
as well as others depending on available filters.
For example, the following command would convert all RTF files to ODT (OpenOffice format):
abiword —to=odt *.rtf
Or, convert from DOC to ODT (Word to OpenOffice):
abiword —to=odt *.doc
Convert PDF to DOC (formatting won’t be great, though)
abiword —to=doc *.pdf
Converting lots of documents has never been so easy!
