MSWord to PDF

[Guest]

Hi

I'm trying to convert a MSWord document to a pdf file. How can I do this without a pdfprinter or a software or a component that you can buy on the web. I just want to do ti programatically. If there is no way to do it freely can some one tell me where I can find information to do a component by my own

Thanks you for any suggestion or answer.

MSW is not a free program. So, you cannot read it structure.
So, the solution is to do like pdfprinter : you have to do like a driver for
a printer. But, instead of printing, you will write in a file.

So, google "how does works a printer" is the only "way" I can show you.
