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.

There's a lot of stuff in there. Concentrate on each part separately and don't worry about the next part just yet. try http://www.phplivedocx.org/2009/02/06/convert-doc-to-pdf-in-php/ for changing your doc to a pdf. To get a doc in/out of mssql, there seems to be some magic you have to do: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-213799.html If they don't work you're going to have to be more specific about what you're having problems with.

Could you not just encode the doc file before putting it in the database. Decode it when you get it out. http://php.net/base64_encode http://php.net/base64_decode Hope that helps. ~Philip
