Hi
someone knows how to convert a word .doc to a PDF using PHP?
and how to store and retrieve a .doc file in a mssql database?

There are external tools available to do it.
http://doc2pdf.sourceforge.net/overview.html is one such tool.
After installing it you exec the binary:
exec('pdf2doc blah blah');
where 'blah blah' is whatever pdf2doc tells you to put in.

I searched for 'mssql binary data' and found this article:

But the link http://doc2pdf.sourceforge.net/overview.html seems to use
e-mail, i did not understand, I just want to extract a word .doc file from
the mssql database, save in a temp directory, convert to the PDF format and
let the user download the PDF file.

There's a lot of stuff in there. Concentrate on each part separately and
don't worry about the next part just yet.
try http://www.phplivedocx.org/2009/02/06/convert-doc-to-pdf-in- php/ for
changing your doc to a pdf.
To get a doc in/out of mssql, there seems to be some magic you have to do:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-213799 .html
If they don't work you're going to have to be more specific about what
you're having problems with.

Could you not just encode the doc file before putting it in the
database. Decode it when you get it out.
http://php.net/base64_encode
http://php.net/base64_decode
Hope that helps.
