Hi , I need help in converting .doc and .docx files. when it is uploaded using php need to be convert into pdf using php. both .doc and .docx files has to be convert into pdf. exact format in the word document. even though word document have images , styles and colors

for reading .doc you'd need the COM module, which is only available on windows servers. and even for the other cases it's almost impossible to do an exact conversion.

your best bet is to open the uploaded document in MS Word, export it, and upload the PDF.
