I haven't done it, but if you have Windows + Word on the server then you can take advantage of the native Word API using COM. Pseudocode would be something like this: 1. Handle uploading the file to a temporary directory 2. Create a COM object for Word 3. Use this COM object load the temporary file 4. Use the adobe/pdf distiller to convert the file to a pdf file. Please, if you do this let us know how it went so others can benefit. Jason
