How to covert documents on upload

Post by stebut05 »

Hi everyone,

Just a quick quesion. I want users to edit word documents on their machine, (or can they do it online?). Then when the documents have been edited, the user should be able to upload the file. Is it possible to convert the word document to PDF on upload???? Thanks for any help, suggestions and advice given??

Regards,


Ste

Hi, I can see that you are wondering if Word document can be edited online directly. I can tell you yes. You can use aceoffix to embed in your system, and your clients can edit the document on their own machine without uploading or downloading the documents.

Take a look at PHPOffice for reading the files. There are a number of PDF libraries out there for writing. All the ones I've tried have been a bit of a nuisance, but they all do work.
