Hi there,

I need to find a way to convert docx or odt files to pdf on a linux web server. Therefore I'm not willing to install openoffice.org for obvious reasons. I've tried Google but it failed for me, so I'm here :-)

I can't imagine there's no other solution to this problem than to install a huge chunk of binaries given that a) there are (or at least should be) lot's of packages which can read docx or at least odt and b) there are as many packages which can write pdf files

What am I missing here? scratching head

Regards, luxifer

ps edit: I don't want to use a web service - neither free or paid

edit 2: at this point it would also help to convert the docx back to doc so I could use wvpdf to generate the pdf...

edit 3: of course it would also help if i could do search and replace on a doc file in the first place; or xps for that matter
