talib Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I want to convert uploaded MS office documents to PDF which is a apart of web application using free web hosting site like HelioHost As per my information, LibreOffice does a far better job of converting documents than the default OpenOffice packages. Can anyone help/suggest me to solve this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice IT Support Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 You can download and install LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/. Once installed, you can select Export to PDF from the file menu in Writer to export your files as a PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice IT Support Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not finding any options that do not require the exec() or shell_exec() commands, as these are disabled on HelioHost, are for Linux, or do not run as a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Why not just convert the .doc files to .pdf on your home PC and then upload the .pdf files. Why does it need to be converted on the server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
