How can convert MSOffice .xml files to .doc or .pdf?

Hi Felipe,

A Word macro can be used to process thousands of files, without the user having to do any more than select the folder to process. I have posted a number of such macros here.

Assuming the xml files are in a format Word can open, you can use code like:

Code:

Sub XML2PDF()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, wdDoc As Document
strFolder = GetFolder
If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.xml", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
  Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
  wdDoc.SaveAs2 FileName:=strFolder & "\" & Split(strFile, ".xml")(0) & ".pdf", Fileformat:=wdFormatPDF, AddToRecentFiles:=False
  wdDoc.Close
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
 
Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
