Subject:Word to PDF automation? From:Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca> To:TECHWR-L List <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com>, Donna Flood <DFlood -at- eoriginal -dot- com> Date:Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:56:00 -0400
Donna Flood wondered: <<I'm looking for an automated solution to
creating a set of PDF files from MS Word docs.>>
I assume Acrobat still offers it's "watched folder" function? If so,
that's possibly all you need. Just check the docs on how to set up
this feature.
There's an older product called "BuildFire" (http://www.convivio.com/
index.php?topic=010_products) that might be useful for you if you
were using Frame, though the date of this release suggests it may no
longer be under active development. Still, I mention this for the
Framers in the group.
