PDF

Post by fractalvibes »

This is reaching, but I know PHP supports some PDF functions. Would it be too much of a stretch to ask if there is an easy way to:

Allow users to upload MS Word docs
If they select "convert to PDF" then have a PHP script take that word file
and convert to PDF.

We are currently doing that on IIS/ASP using a DLL I wrote, in a test environment. It was brought to my attention that using Acrobat in that
manner on the server is not permitted by their licensing with the product.
If such would be easily doable with PHP, great! would be great to have PHP running alongside ASP, and save some $$$ on 3rd party COM components, so I had to ask...

Any thoughts welcome.
