how to convert documents to pdf format using php

[sknyppy]

I need to find a way to allow users to select multiple files from a list and generate a single PDF file from them.

The documents are limited to the following formats: MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel, Plain Text, gif/jpeg images.

Are there any PHP classes or modules that exist which can tackle this tough task?

Thanks,
Dave

Your answer was very informative if I never heard of Google but of course that was the first thing I did and the results contained nothing of value.

Dave-

From what you posted originally this would seem to be adequate.

The search: ("create pdf php")

The relevant result (#2):

From the R&OS pdf class website:
Want to create dynamic pdf documents with PHP, but don't want to (or can't) install any of those required modules? ... Well we could have the solution.. for you, a PHP class which will allow the easy production of simple pdf documents...

Sorry Jeff. I thought this was a technical forum used for dicussion of PHP questions. I assume your obvious simple answer indicates you have no experience creating converting ms documents to pdf format using PHP. Your little signature is way cool though.

Have a nice day.

dave,

you are correct. when one asks a simple vague question "is there x that can do y" you are likely to get a STFW response.

if you are having technical problems with code you have written and/or are using, post the CODE you are having trouble with and you will receive TECHNICAL assistance.
