Implementation for linux users

[ethanpyth]

We can achieve that by making a python script that will read the email of participant in email.xlsm file and will send them the mail and not with a macro in excel

The issue stands in converting from DOCX to PDF, since that can only be done by one package in python that uses Windows

We can use libreoffice for the same as well. I am trying to implement it.

[notnotrachit]

Ya, Its working, I will clean the code and make a pull requet, but for now, I am also trying to automate the mail sending on Linux as well

No, we can use Libreoffice's headless mode cli to convert from pdf to docx
