Interesting, I have been looking for some way to convert a large number of Word documents to PDF in some automated way without using MS Office, because as far as I have seen it would have to be done manually by printing to a PDF printer. The company I work for has a system for writing up purchase specifications for all the parts we use as standardized documents in Word format. There are literally thousands of these. The problem is that in order to read them one must have an instance of MSOffice installed and it sometimes takes a long time to open each document too. So I have been on the lookout for some way to implement a program for converting these to PDF. As an example all our drawings are stored for access by production in PDF format, which is very simple to use (and quick if one refrains from using the Adobe reader). And now this thread appears here that is very similar to what I need. If a Lazarus/FPC implementation is created, possibly using the OpenOffice hook described here, I would be very much interested too! The link above goes in the end to a download of *compiled* java code so it is not that good for me. An FPC implementation would be really useful though. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
