Converting file from word.doc to pdf...
jodleren
I have a system using expdf and other PDF tools to create PDF
documents.
Now they want an automated system, which can reads word documents and
convert them to PDF
Would that be possible?

An option is to use OpenOffice on the command line. It can save as
pdf.
Google knows about it.
It depends a bit on the kind and version of the word docs how you
approach this.
From PHP you can try COM to make word open a doc, and print it to a
PDF printer, or to postscript and convert that to PDF.
I dont know of an 'elegant' solution. Microsoft and PDF dont mix very
well.

Hi,
that looks very promising, but it seems you need to sign up for some
account to use it.
Before you can start using phpLiveDocx, you must first sign up for an
account.

Oh, and besides that it says:

Sorry I missed those, I thought they were free.

How does this look to you?
If I read this correctly FOSS stands for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_Open_Source_Software
and applies to this package.

If you are looking at developing your own solution, you could take a
look at LiveDocx (and if you are using PHP phpLiveDocx). It is a free
SOAP service that offers exactly the functionality for which you are
looking!

Being an advocate of the FOSS movement, I promote the use of Open Source

Hi Mike,
I dont need anything... I just replied to your post. I am not the OP.
The phplivedocx is a service, you can send your docs to their server
and have them converted. For some small use, there is a free
subscription, but for serious work you need to pay monthly fee.
At least thats what I understand.
If you want their sourcecode and use it, then you must pay the 4000
EURO. Still FOSS? There is something fishy about the PHPlivedocX.

What OS are you using, if it were Linux you could simply open the .doc
file in question and than tell it to print it in .pdf.
Simple as that and no need to look for some web service or program to do
it for you.

So if he built a simple Linux server to his network would it be possible
to use the server to do the job? If so would you mind describing how
this would be done?

Huh?
I dont understand why you are asking me this. I dont need anything,
just made a remark on the liveDocx.
You can do a command line conversion on any platfom OpenOffice is
supported on, I even suspect this is what the liveDocx is using.

Hmm :)
I am back now reading all this. I guess the option with running it
from the command prompt might be a better option...

Of course, if the product were any good they wouldn't need to spam...
