joker77 Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Hi, Presumably this is a common enough problem, but I can't seem to find a neat way of doing it! The problem is I need to convert a .doc file to a .pdf, on the server side - so I can't automate Word to do it (yes I'm aware it can be done with Office2007, which I have, but this app will have to be left unattended - this is not the designed use for Word). Does anyone know of any open source tools that would be able to do this? Thanks Quote What if the Hokey-Pokey IS what it's all about?
mskeel Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 One option might be to simply install a PDF print driver such as PrimoPDF and then programmatically send your word doc to the PDF "printer". This guy seems to have a good non-.Net way of doing things. There's also an open source project that you might be able to pick apart and reuse the relevant components. Quote
Zorka Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Hi, joker77 try this product: http://alt-soft.com Altsoft Xml2PDF converts xml files (in your case this is Word 2003) to PDF without Word automation Quote
