Converting Ms Office file to PDF online

Hi,
In my web app I would like to convert MS Office files(.doc, .ppt, .xls) into PDF's on request through JSP.
I have seen a few sites which convert uploaded documents to PDF for free online and send the PDF through mail to the user.
e.g: [www.doc2pdf.net/converter|www.doc2pdf.net/converter]
How to do something like this?Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Look for a Java API which can read MS Office files and "convert" them into useable/standard Java objects.
Then look for a Java API which can create PDF files based on info hold in standard Java objects.
Then do 1 + 1.
For the first step I can recommend the Apache POI API and for the second one I can recommend iText.

Does anyone know if you can download a PDF Printer that converts all microsoft office files to pdf format via a print command. The PDF Wizard fromPDF Suite does this but it costs 40 US Dollars?

Hi Justin,
You can purchase a Create PDF subscription and use the Create PDF desktop pinter which can be downloaded once you are a paying subscriber. The subscription costs $9.99 per month and you can end your subscription at anytime. Learn about this service.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Acrobat 7 is not tested with Office 365. However your PDF Printer is working fine then you can print your office files to it.

Thanks for replying. I am converting from MS Office Word document to Adobe Acrobat Document and opening with Reader XI - sorry my mistake.
I now notice another problem. On trying to open a specific hyperlink in the pdf version I get the message 'Acrobat does not allow connection to: www.biblegateway.com'. Why would there be a restriction?

Converting Word 2007 files to PDF

Hi,
When I convert Word 2007 file to PDF via Acrobat Pro. 9, The Section Titles show on the bookmark area are as usual, but the Section number for the titles are disappear. For Example: the title set as "1.1 Test", the bookmark shows only "Test" and the "1.1" is disappeared. (the title assigned as style heading 3 and the section number is generated by multi-level list).
I have been converting Word 2003 file via Acrobat Pro. 7 and Word 2007 file Via Acrobat 8.1, they are all fine.
I tried to change settings on PDFmaker for Acorbat Pro 9 and failed. I also checked through the manual and found nothing. Can anyone tell me how to have both the section number and title show on the Bookmark section of PDF file with my present MS Word 2007 setting (the title assigned as style heading 3 and the section number is generated by multi-level list)?
Thanks,
Jeffrey

Steve, Samnol,
Thanks for your advice and sorry for the late reponse because I tried to re-install Acrobat 8 and 9 and see if anything changed.
The good news I got from this weekend is that the problem regarding the "Missing of section numbers in the Bookmark when I converted the Word 2007 to PDF" has been resolved after I update the patch published on 01 March 2009. I will keep running Rev 9 on trail basis and work out the recommendation to the company. I am glad that I can get rid of the old Office 2003 and Acrobat 7 for the time being. It has been a heck for me to run dual Office system.
Thanks again for the advise.
Jeffrey

Hello,
if you create your doc files by the help of WORD, you could use a Microsoft add on (it depends of your WORD Version).

Error converting Word 07 files to pdf in Vista

Hi
I'm running Vista, Word 07, Acrobat 8.1.2. I don't use acrobat a lot in converting files, last time it was a few months ago.
I wanted to convert a doc file to pdf but always get this error:
Adobe could not open the the file because it is unsupported etc etc.
I tried with docx still the same. but other non office files are ok e.g. jpg, txt, html etc. but not office files, ppt/doc/rtf/docx etc.
When I try to print to pdf in word, word just freezes & is unresponsive, need to close it. At the bottom of word, it says converting page 1 etc. not stuck.
I don't really know what to do. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, checked this forum for solutions but still the same. Even tried upgrading but still no avail!
Please help.
Thanks

I don't have a printer at home. So can't test if I can print through a physical printer.
it's kinda strange because it just affects ms office docs/ppt etc. others seem just fine apart from notepad as well. but right clicking say on a jpeg/txt file & convert to pdf is fine.

Converting Multiple .EPS files into .PDF

Dear Forum: We have tried converting multiple .eps files into PDF using article 325977. This article in Adobe help is really designed to convert .ai files into either .eps or.pdf, our situation is to convert multiple .eps files into PDF. Everytime we run the macro, it simply takes the eps file and saves it as another eps file and does not convert. We have a "Save As" step that we have in the macro that is set to "Save As" PDF, but it still does not work. What are we doing wrong?

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs.
