How to add Word document in ods pdf

Good points

I don't believe Adobe Pro is open source, runs on OSx and Unix or is a s easy to script.

For non-programmers Adobe Pro is a great product, intuitive with good mouse surfing.

Not sure but MS Word may allow mouse surfing output to PDFs.?

Adobe pro does run on mac osX

It is not open source, but is common in many big organizations. Getting open source software can often be a challenge, whereas Adboe is considered an 'office standard product' and easy to get.

Adobe does support scripting, either VBS or internally via Javascript. 

In Microsoft Office 2010+ you can save any excel/word/powerpoint file to a PDF file. Again this can be automated via a VBS script, if desired. Usually in Windows or OS X you can now print a file to PDF even if the application itself doesn't support saving to PDF.

There are examples of how this is accomplished via SAS in papers on Lexjansen.com or I have a presentation on the method I used a few years ago.

Good Points Reeza

With MS Powershell now available in Unix, I wonder if we will have better connections to Office.
Should help with the MS scripting from Unix?.

You are right about big companies, however there are many smaller companies and startups without all those products.

I wonder if we will be able to mount local drives on unix using powershell 'mount' commands.
Mount my C drive? Powershell over PuTTy SSH?

Powershell on Unix should really help with SAS admin on hybrid Unix/SAS installations.

There is no special need for powershell or anything like that on UNIX just to mount network resources. All UNIXen already support all network protocols (nfs, cifs, smb, novell, ....). In that regard, they have always been lightyears ahead of Windows.

And I don't see any scripting action that can't be done (quite easily) in bash.

Irfanview (which I already mentioned) can do this (resizing) and lots of other image tricks quite easily.
