There are external tools available to do it. http://doc2pdf.sourceforge.net/overview.html is one such tool. After installing it you exec the binary: exec('pdf2doc blah blah'); where 'blah blah' is whatever pdf2doc tells you to put in. > and how to store and retrieve a .doc file in a mssql database? I searched for 'mssql binary data' and found this article: http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/1475641/Storing-and-Retrieving-Binary-Data-in-SQL-Server.htm -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/

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. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
