Symfony2 - How to convert doc or docx files to pdf

Question

Is there any method in Symfony that converts MS word files (doc, docx) t pdf ? Any integrated function, bundle? What are your experience with?

Thank you in advance.

There's some great PHP frameworks about at the moment (Symfony2 is on my list to try) but one of the things I notice here is that people often think that the framework should handle everything. However, these frameworks are just PHP, so in general if you have a need for extra functionality, just look for a PHP library that does what you want. There might be a Symfony2 bundle for this, but if not, make your own with the library you find :-).

There are several questions here that list PHP approaches to converting Word documents (doc and docx) to PDF. For example, try this one.
