Saving/exporting a Word (2000) doc as a PDF

Hi,

I ran into a problem attempting to save a Word doc as a PDF.

Here's the details:

// get the doc content into a cf var
<cffile action="read" file="xyz.doc" variable="mydoc"/>

// use cfdocument to save the var as a pdf doc
<cfdocument filename="myPDF.pdf" format="pdf" mimeType="application/msword">
<cfoutput>#mydoc#</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>

The generated pdf file looks minimized and crammed, some of its
content is sort of legible, the original Word doc (2000) is of 45k.  What's happening?

Is there another way to do it?

Thanks in advance.
