How to convert word to PDF commandline open source files?

Asked By isabellagregorey 60 points N/A Posted on - 11/06/2012

Can anyone help me to generate a word to PDF command line open source for Windows?

We used to make doc files in Open Office but the conversion ruins the original formatting of the document especially on the tables and images. I need a program that can do the conversion and preferably free.

Thanks for whatever help.

You need to be install an adobe reader. First you should download it from web and if download and initial installation is fully completed then adobe reader file would be in your computer desktop. Then any pdf file always automatically changed by word doc.

Thank you and see you again.
