Well... suppose from my application, I want to convert a Word document to PDF. How would I do that? I did quite a bit of research and the only way I found was to use CUPS-PDF and have Word print to that printer. Then, I can retrieve the converted PDF document. Is there any other way?
I don't do any printing from my own app but I want to have various applications that can print to convert a given document to PDF...
-Laurent.
