Convert .doc word documents to PDF

I am trying to convert multiple word documents to individual PDFs.  It works fine for word documents that are .docx format.  It fails for any document that is .doc format.  The failure happens for all .doc files no matter what method I try, and no matter if I try single or multiple conversions.  The only way I can convert the .doc files is to open each one in word and convert from there.  I have hundreds to convert so this is not an option.  How do I get this to work for .doc files?
