Can C...

[SCelia]

I need to write a program that can take a plain text file and turn it into a encyrpted adobe pdf and microsoft reader file. It will have to have its fonts changed, a table of contents added with all the sections automatically indexed, etc. So I would basically need a program that can, on a win 2k machine, take a text file, turn it into a rich text format (microsoft word file would probably be the way to go?) and then convert it to encrypted adobe pdf and microsoft reader formats. Can this be done with C or C++? Is there another programming language that would work better? Java maybe? This is a big project but doing the work by hand would require 12 years of 10 hour days 365 days a year... Celia
