TeX Live only provides sam2p for Windows.  It is assumed that sam2p
is part of all major Linux distributions and that it can be installed
conveniently.

sam2p is much faster than convert and produces much smaller files
without loss of quality.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
