Yes, I was looking for something that could do it in a scripting
environment. I will look into this, thank you.

Does anyone have any experience or information on converting a simple
Word document to a PDF? I've seen a few utilities that do this, but all
of them are Word doc to printer to PDF hacks, and most are dependent

way.
I could not figure out whether you want such utility/software for manual use
or automatic use (for scripts like PHP).
As far as automatic use is concerned, I recommend an open source software
called "catdoc" (to be installed on your server) that is able to read xls,
ppt, doc files and outputs plain text that you can convert into PDF using one
of the PDF libs available for PHP. All of these reading and writing tasks you
can do by your PHP script.
* Search google for latest "catdoc" software.
* Search pear.php.net for PDF library for PHP.
