Very nice.

I just tried this with OO 2.0.2

Built the macro, as described in the article you linked to.

Since I was not interested in a CGI wrapper, the only interesting stuff in the the ASP/C# stuff in the download acompanying the article is how to call it (Win here):

path_to_OO_executables\swriter.exe macro:///ConversionLibrary.PDFConve
+rsion.ConvertWordToPDF(Word.doc,Output.pdf)

[download]

(I used the same names as in the article)

Assemble that command line dynamically with the file names needed, run it as a background process, and you are done.

Worked fine, except for an "ErrorCodeIOException" occuring at the export call...

Hm, took me a few minutes to realise, that it was not my fault, but a known bug in V2.0.2. ;-/
