Hi,

I need help to convert php and html pages to word doc's or to pdf.

I already have found some things, but some doesn't work and others has to be paid (I can not arrange a crack for this).

Please someone help me with code samples, or something that is already working...please..

Thanks a lot.

Rui

Hi, what you're asking for is, for all practical matters, impossible, and furthermore, unnecessary (well, at least for Word documents. I don't know about PDF)

If you needed to read Word files, I could help you... but there is no magic bullet. Both formats are proprietary, and you can only plug into existing architectures whose developers guessed the specs of the documents.

i used this wonderfull class to create pdf files, mostly images but some text.
PHP has some basic built in ability to create pdf and this guy with help built some classes to make our life easier.
