Hi everybody! :o

Right now I am doing a website which could read a .doc file and convert that to pdf file. I just started, so...I did some google search but cant find any good solutions. The PHP inherent pdf library or other things as FPDF can only create or modify pdf files but not for convertion (expecially not for a windows word file conversion)...
Is there any idea on how to do that?

Besides, I am pretty new in the PHP field, but I have some programming expericen before(mostly C or Cplus). Is there any good tutorials or stuff you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance! :P

This is the closest I've ever found: http://phpclasses.goodphp.com/browse/package/388.html

Problem is that it needs to communicate with word via a COM object, so you need run this from Windows

There are freely available, downloadable printer drivers that write PDF files.
