Hi everybody! :evilgrin:

Right now I am doing a website which could read a .doc file and convert that to pdf file. I just started, so...I did some google search but cant find any good solutions. The PHP inherent pdf library or other things as FPDF can only create or modify pdf files but not for convertion (expecially not for a windows word file conversion)...
Is there any idea on how to do that?

Besides, I am pretty new in the PHP field, but I have some programming expericen before(mostly C or Cplus). Is there any good tutorials or stuff you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance! :rolleyes:

    DOC is a proprietary (secret) format. There might be a converter for RTF to PDF but I have not seen one. You might try checking to see if OpenOffice (http://openoffice.org) can run on your server. You might be able to automate it to do the job for you.

    Or you might consider using some Adobe software...i can't remember whether it's called Acrobat or something else but they had a converter. Don't know if it runs on linux.
