Open a word document and specify encoding with PowerShell

问题

I'm trying to tell PowerShell to open a text file and choose a certain encoding option. By default, when opening this text file in Word manually, it tries to open it with Japanese encoding and so doesn't show certain characters correctly.

I've tried lots of different things but nothing works so I'm totally stuck.

This text file, amongst others, needs to be converted to PDF on a daily basis.

My current script is as follows:

$wdFormatPDF = 17

$word = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
$word.Visible = $true

$folderpath = "C:\Users\smirabile\Downloads\report-testing-destination\*"
$fileTypes  = "accepted.spl"

Get-ChildItem -Path $folderpath -Include $fileTypes | ForEach-Object {
    $path = ($_.FullName).Substring(0, ($_.FullName).LastIndexOf("."))

    $doc = $word.Documents.Open($_.FullName)

    $Word.Selection.PageSetup.Orientation = 1
    $Word.Selection.PageSetup.LeftMargin  = 20
    $Word.Selection.PageSetup.RightMargin = 20
    $doc.Select()
    $Word.Selection.Font.Size = 9
    $doc.SaveAs([ref]$path, [ref]$wdFormatPDF)

    $doc.Close()
}

$word.Quit()
Stop-Process -Name WINWORD -Force

When in doubt, read the documentation:

Syntax
expression.Open(FileName, ConfirmConversions, ReadOnly, AddToRecentFiles,
    PasswordDocument, PasswordTemplate, Revert, WritePasswordDocument,
    WritePasswordTemplate, Format, Encoding, Visible, OpenConflictDocument,
    OpenAndRepair, DocumentDirection, NoEncodingDialog)
[…]
Encoding | Optional | Variant | The document encoding (code page or character set) to be used by Microsoft Word when you view the saved document. Can be any valid MsoEncoding constant. […] The default value is the system code page.

Use [Type]::Missing for parameters that you want used with their default value.

Example (using iso-8859-15 encoding):

$def = [Type]::Missing
$doc = $word.Documents.Open(
         $_.FullName, $def, $def, $def, $def, $def, $def, $def, $def, $def, 28605
       )
