But the link http://doc2pdf.sourceforge.net/overview.html seems to use
e-mail, i did not understand, I just want to extract a word .doc file from
the mssql database, save in a temp directory, convert to the PDF format and
let the user download the PDF file.

Hi
someone knows how to convert a word .doc to a PDF using PHP?
There are external tools available to do it.
http://doc2pdf.sourceforge.net/overview.html is one such tool.
After installing it you exec the binary:
exec('pdf2doc blah blah');
where 'blah blah' is whatever pdf2doc tells you to put in.
and how to store and retrieve a .doc file in a mssql database?
I searched for 'mssql binary data' and found this article:
