Gee, this sounds familiar for some reason . . .
The RTF route is the quick option if you're only generating RTF files as
your output. If you have to convert RTF to PDF, it's possible and pretty
easy on Linux, given you can install a couple of programs and have
access to <cfexecute>.
The easier thing to do is convert the Word files to PDF and load the PDF
files to the site. You can read and write PDF files pretty easily using
iText. Plus you have the bonuses of being able to distribute the files
to a broader audience and the ability to restrict end-user access to the
files and their content once the files are off the site.
I think iText can read and write RTF files as well, but you'd have to
check the site to be sure.
HTH,

Does anybody have any experience or suggestion on MX 7 "reading" and
processing Microsoft Word documents on MX 7? The latest version of MX
Advanced Application Development has a chapter on it - but I haven't
purchased it yet.
Here's the catch - CF is running on Red Hat ES.
Are there any best practices or recommendations on this?
Thanks,
