Found an old drive. Had some docs. Who would upload these to Drive for online scanning? Had to install LibreOffice for the offline CLI solution from this page.
lowriter --convert-to pdf --outdir [output-directory] input-doc-or-docx-file
I left off the directory flag and it just put the PDF in the same directory the DOC file was in. Obviously a person can just open each document after the damage of installing the entire 700Mb LibreOffice suite for a f*cking CLI command, but that's even worse.
I will of course have zero use of use of LibreOffice proper, so this command line option is very expensive in terms of disk space, but so far only way I know to offline convert old DOC's.
