Ewww. Nasty. Office is bad enough standalone, but on a server? Aside from the licensing issue and the bloat there's the multithreading to consider. Better to use something like activePDF's DocConverter product. It'll convert any one of over 200 formats to PDF. > Then you could use > something like ActivePDF to concat the PDF documents. Yup. So DocConverter + Server Toolkit should do what you're after. But it'll cost up to $2,400 USD to do so. Tools to do PDF merging are quite common, the conversion ones less so. It might be possible to avoid the $1,500 price tag of DocConverter but you'd have to strictly specify what formats you can handle, and probably have one separate tool for each one.
