The intention of the process I was originally asking about was input
oriented, as opposed to output. To process the text on the input Word
Documents. Sorry to re-hijack the thread!

Can I hijack this thread for a second, and ask (since you mentioned iText)
is iText the best way to create PDFs? I ask because we use CFX_PDF (2.2 I
think) to generate reports in PDF format, and it's okay I guess, but seems
kinda clunky and I don't know how limited it might be. I know that CFX_PDF
was written using iText so I'm just wondering if there's greater control
directly using iText, or if there's another method that's even better. I
should probably mention that I'm running CFMX 6.1 (no 7 yet, though we're
trying to get our client to upgrade)
Thanks,
Chris

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,
Adrian

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,
Joe Kelly
