Automate conversion of .doc to .pdf ?

Hi there, I have a system that checks thousands of emails using a mail plugin, moves the attachments to a file server and puts file references to the attachments in a container field.

I'd really like to convert .doc files as they come in to .pdf. Does anyone know how I could do this? I'm willing to pay for a commercial solution. I know there's a free way, using the CUPS printer or something like that, but that has to sit on your desktop and it dumps the files into a folder, and I don't know how I could automate invoking the CUPS printer and pulling the files from it's folder, so I was hoping there might be a more seamless way that worked with FileMaker.

Any ideas?

thanks,

:)

I have never used it but how about
