Convert Word to PDF upon upload

Question

We are going to develop an online document management system for our procedures.

We want to store the Word doc for future edits and we want to index and display the PDF document for staff.

Is it possible to upload a Word doc and have cf convert it to a pdf?

Ideally we'd also like a watermark with the current date when printed.

I am on cf8, but can upgrade to cf9 if needed.

Thank you

You can convert an MS Word file (*.doc) to a PDF using ColdFusion 9. You can add a watermark to a PDF file using the CFPDF tag.
