[wisedev]

hi,
i'm totally new at this.
i tried to convert a .doc to .pdf using php in the localhost, using this answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5538 ... f-with-php

why localhost? for fun and let's see if it work before i use it in some real web page.

i have installed openoffice 4 on windows 8.1 pro, run a project php with apache netbean 12 but im totally blocked to the part command line:
"I also created a plain text file above the web root (I named it "adocpdf"), with the following command line instructions in it:"
Which command line? windows cml? server cml? openoffice cml(exist?)?
what he speaking about?
another little problem is python. i never used it. (but this is my problem i can learn it)

anyway i want convert doc to pdf using php

There are better tools to convert doc to pdf. OpenOffice has died anyway. LibreOffice is the "new" OpenOffice since 2011.

Just for the record, the "plain text file" referred to is a Linux shell script; it won't work in Windows.

Your search skills may need upgrading - I found results using the search string php+convert+doc+to+pdf

[wisedev]

i ask with libreoffice. no one method of this search work for really on my system.

Nobody will install Netbeans for you.
Nobody will refresh old php knowledge.
Nobody will do your work.
Do your own business and once you found out how to do it, feel free to share it here and elsewhere.

Why bother to convert using php? One can convert to PDF from command line using Open- or Libre-Office. There are many examples of this on the Forum, also in the documentation - search for "command line".
