Does anyone know of an existing class that can convert a .doc file to .pdf on upload?
I have a client that produces a monthly newsletter in word and want it available for download from their website. I do not want people to rely on having MS Office installed to view it. Converting before upload is beyond the clients capabilities (apparently).
Any help much appricated.

There are many programs that will convert that you could run on the command line. What OS?

Since the client creates the file in the first place, there is a MS download addon for Office that allows you to save as PDF. Would be much easier for them to "Save As" PDF then upload, I think.
