convert word to pdf on upload

Post by philippe2 »

Hi, I have a form where users can upload their cvs in either word or pdf. I want to improve the script so that the word docs get converted to pdf when they are uploaded.
Is this possible?
I have looked a fpdf word2pdf but it does not seem to do that. I am told I should get the php script to execute a script in cgi. I have never done this
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Cheers

Hi thanks,
I don't think this is what I need as it converts attachements received by email.
What i need is a script that would convert word docs into pdf when they are uploaded on the server by the users. What I want is that when they upload a doc, it becomes a pdf when it is stored on the server.
Also I am on shared hosting (linux, apache server) so I do need a php script or a php library to do this.
Can anyone help?
