Server-based Microsoft Office to PDF Converters?

Question

I'm looking to convert our library of MS Office files into PDFs on a Linux server. What I'm looking for is similar to this.

Anyone know of one not so costly?

Answer 1

unoconv is free, it uses OpenOffice to do the conversion. Unfortunately OpenOffice doesn't import MS Office files perfectly so YMMV. Another option is to use OfficeToPDF, this is however an Windows application that requires Office to be installed. You could probably solve this by running Windows in a virtual machine on your server and remotely control it.
