PDF conversion on fly

Currently am working on an application, with linux as server and clients as windows machine. I am looking for the way to convert document of any type to pdf on fly. that is a user working on a windows system, will upload a file on to the server, the file will get converted to pdf on fly. Kindly suggest me if there are any open source or free pdf class libraries which are efficient.

Regards.

Babu.

Open Office is able to produce PDF files and has an API - maybe it is worth to take a look at.

I'm facing the same problem. My os is linux ES4 with open office2.0, i've used open office for pdf conversion. It is converting doc files to pdf but the images under doc files are not displayed in the generated pdf files. I've also tried itext but it is unable to convert doc files to pdf. It only works for txt, gif, jpg files.

Do let be know if any one has any alternative for this. I also need to convert dwg(AutoCad) files to pdf. My environment is Linux ES4, Webshpere6.0, MySql4.0 with jsp, servlets as scripting language.

Hoping for support from all of you.

Regards

Amit
