Title: How to create pdf from doc?
Post by: sebahot on October 09, 2008, 02:34:25 PM

Hello,

I wish to convert some doc files from my sme 7.3 to pdf.
Is there any method to do that?

Thank you!

Sebastian

I use the following:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

open the documents in a workstation and then print them to the PDFcreator printer that is installed with the above program.

I would like to use a bash command or script in linux to create pdf from doc files.

AFAIK you can't convert directly a M$ doc file to a pdf one via a shell script.. you have to convert it first to postscript, but the only way I know to achieve it is by a PS printer and saving to file..

btw, a "I wish" or "I would like" sounds better ;-)

Ciao
