I've found in below link an Excel vba that converts excel files in a specific directory to pdfs.
I want your help to do the needful changes on this code to make it converts Word documents in a specific directory to pdfs.

Code is shown below:
Sub ExcelToPDF2()
Dim Path As String, FilesInPath As String _

Dim MyFiles() As String, Fnum As Long
Dim Buk As Workbook, BukName As String

Dim LPosition As Integer
'Specify the path of a folder where all the excel files are stored

OutputPath = Range("G8").Text & ""
FilesInPath = Dir(Path & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If
Fnum = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
Fnum = Fnum + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To Fnum)

Welcome to Stackoverflow. I'd recommend having a read of the How to ask page. More specifically, you're not likely to get much help if you just ask for code without showing what you've tried, and what specific problems you've encountered.

Great that you were able to work it out yourself! I've taken the liberty to remove off-topic commentary from your answer and indented the code for better readability.

Honestly, the easiest way I can think of to do this is to just record a macro. If you go to Word->Developer->Record a Macro, you can record the function that you want to do. From there, you would have the code, and you can change certain areas from there. Here is the code I got with a few tweaks to do what I think you are looking for:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Dim i As Integer, FileLocation As String, WDoc() As Word.Document
Dim FilesInPath As String, Path As String, MyFiles() As String, iend As Integer
Path = "C:..." ' This is where you would like to get the files that need to be exported to .pdfs
NewPath = "C:..." ' This is where you would like to send the exported files
FilesInPath = Dir(Path & "*.doc*")
iend = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
iend = iend + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To iend)
MyFiles(iend) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop
For i = 1 To iend
ReDim Preserve WDoc(i)
Set WDoc(i) = Word.Documents.Open(Path & MyFiles(i))
FileLocation = NewPath & WDoc(i).Name & ".pdf" ' Location and name of new file
WDoc(i).ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=FileLocation, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:= _
wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, CreateBookmarks:= _
wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:= _
True, UseISO19005_1:=False
WDoc(i).Close
Next i
End Sub
Hi @Parker.R, Thanks for your help. I've tried my best but I could't suit above code to my required output since I have a little experience in coding. would you please edit it in away that it can convert all word files to pdf?, I would highly appreciate your effort.

Hey @Ready2go, I edited the code above. You will need to change where you would like to import the files and where you would like to export it. If it works, click the check mark on the side for me. It worked for me when I did it from Microsoft Word VBA.
– Parker.R
Nov 11 at 3:27
Hey @Parker.R, It works fine with me on Word, is there any way to make it works on Excel. Actually, I have a project on Excel and it is a part of that project.

Great that you were able to work it out yourself! I've taken the liberty to remove off-topic commentary from your answer and indented the code for better readability.

Honestly, the easiest way I can think of to do this is to just record a macro. If you go to Word->Developer->Record a Macro, you can record the function that you want to do. From there, you would have the code, and you can change certain areas from there. Here is the code I got with a few tweaks to do what I think you are looking for:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Dim i As Integer, FileLocation As String, WDoc() As Word.Document
Dim FilesInPath As String, Path As String, MyFiles() As String, iend As Integer
Path = "C:..." ' This is where you would like to get the files that need to be exported to .pdfs
NewPath = "C:..." ' This is where you would like to send the exported files
FilesInPath = Dir(Path & "*.doc*")
iend = 0
Do While FilesInPath <> ""
iend = iend + 1
ReDim Preserve MyFiles(1 To iend)
MyFiles(iend) = FilesInPath
FilesInPath = Dir()
Loop
For i = 1 To iend
ReDim Preserve WDoc(i)
Set WDoc(i) = Word.Documents.Open(Path & MyFiles(i))
FileLocation = NewPath & WDoc(i).Name & ".pdf" ' Location and name of new file
WDoc(i).ExportAsFixedFormat OutputFileName:=FileLocation, ExportFormat:=wdExportFormatPDF, _
OpenAfterExport:=False, OptimizeFor:=wdExportOptimizeForPrint, Range:= _
wdExportAllDocument, From:=1, To:=1, Item:=wdExportDocumentContent, _
IncludeDocProps:=True, KeepIRM:=True, CreateBookmarks:= _
wdExportCreateNoBookmarks, DocStructureTags:=True, BitmapMissingFonts:= _
True, UseISO19005_1:=False
WDoc(i).Close
Next i
End Sub
Hi @Parker.R, Thanks for your help. I've tried my best but I could't suit above code to my required output since I have a little experience in coding. would you please edit it in away that it can convert all word files to pdf?, I would highly appreciate your effort.

Hey @Ready2go, I edited the code above. You will need to change where you would like to import the files and where you would like to export it. If it works, click the check mark on the side for me. It worked for me when I did it from Microsoft Word VBA.

Hey @Parker.R, It works fine with me on Word, is there any way to make it works on Excel. Actually, I have a project on Excel and it is a part of that project.

Welcome to Stackoverflow. I'd recommend having a read of the How to ask page. More specifically, you're not likely to get much help if you just ask for code without showing what you've tried, and what specific problems you've encountered.

Hi @Matt, appreciate your notice, but I think the question is fair enough specific. you're kindly requested to re-evaluate the question and provide support if any.
