svgmx5 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Does anyone know any scripts or tuts that i can check out to convert a word type of document like rtf, doc, docx etc into a pdf file? I need to save the files into a mysql database and save it on the server as a pdf file It can be either free script or a paid script or tutorial w.e works Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleary1981 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The newer versions of word work with xml. I don't know much about the subject but I would think this would be an easier route. Then you could use apache fop to make your pdf. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intellix Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I thought when you installed Adobe Reader, when you print, it gives you the option to print to PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have doc files on a web server and want to serve them as PDFs to a user you require server side conversion tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
