It's nothing great. It cycles through the .pub files in a folder and uses the Publisher.Application COM document object to convert using .ExportAsFixedFormat() to PDF.
It's going to save me weeks. I've got 940 *.pub files to convert before October when Microsoft will stop you even opening them.

I wouldn’t say it was my favourite API, but with Microsoft’s decision to not just stop supporting Publisher but to prevent it even opening files from next October, automating converting the 1,000+ I’ve created over the last 25 years to PDFs so I can open them in Affinity is my top use.

And I'm enjoying travelling on the hyperloop.
He's a snake oil salesman. Always has been. The problem is that people who buy into his crap have no off-ramp. It's tulip mania again.

Yes, I agree. Everyone knew this.
It's their burying their head in the sand when they had post-election wriggle room that's the completely dumb bit.

They've missed the boat.
An immediate "Sorry it's worse than we thought" after the election would have seen grumbles but understanding.
To stretch it out and as a result not be able to improve things and eventually still have to do it nearer to the next election is just plain stupidity.

Have you checked with Bezos before running this? This seems to be completely against his free market editorial directive.
You're getting sacked in the morning.
