Converting DOC files to PDF with PHP

[tgrk35]

Is there a way to convert DOC files to PDF using PHP?

I know it's possible to create PDF files with PHP, but not sure about converting an existing DOC...

Any help you can give would be great :).

Thanks :)

You sould need the ability to read in a Word Doc format and I don't beleive anything like that exists.

The Word document format is proprietary to Microsoft and so you will need to purchase the PHP library that can read that format from them (if they ever write one).

This is something where using a different server side language (one created by Microsoft) will possibly allow you to do what you want where PHP can't. There is almost certainly a .net solution created by Microsoft that you can purchase to use to do this.
