Use a virtual printer like Cute PDF + ghostscript to use the Print option in Word and Excel to convert the files to PDF.

Use either Ghost script /Jaws PDF Creator /Foxit Pdf Creator Software... Install it . The Program installs as "printer". Using the print option will generate the required pdf file of .doc /.xls file. If using office 2007 install the save as pdf plugin.

@ ketanpatel : as you are also using ubuntu (from open source section). open office can export excel/ word files to pdf format. just click File>>Export as pdf

complete bouncer couldn't understood:rolleyes:
LOL.. Sorry :)) Download these 2 software: Ghostscript and CutePDF writer. Install both. This will install a new printer: PDF generator. To convert any document to print, just use the print option in that software (word, excel, IE, FF etc.) and select PDF writer as the printer. The document would be converted as a PDF. Hope now its clear :)

You don't need any "physical" printer attached, I guess it will create a dummy "virtual" printer to fool the printing software into making a pdf.

^^But the size of pdf file created is larger if you create it using open office as compared to using other convertors

I converted the same doc file with openoffice and its size was 60KB. When I did the same thing with PDF Creator, it was just 21 KB

^Oh, hmm. You did that on windows?
Coz AFAIK, On *nix both OpenOffice and Abiword use a virtual cups printer.
Dont know how things go in the windows version of Oo_O
