[imp] Server side PDF conversion

[Prieto Martinez, Javier]

Hello. 

I have a Horde webmail server, and I'd like it to convert Office file
attachments to PDF files using a copy of Openoffice installed in the web
server, so they can be read from Linux terminals. My idea is to add a new
button to IMP, which launches a command-line Openoffice conversion macro,
which generates the PDF file, and shows it on the user browser.

Before I start coding, has anybody already done that? I've seen many posts
about batch file conversion in Openoffice forums (as

sc&start=0> &postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0), by I don't find no one that
covers the possibility of launching it from a PHP server srcript. 

Thanks in advance.
