This month's meeting will feature David Berube of http://
www.berubeconsulting.com presenting techniques to extract content
from MS Office documents. From David:
"Microsoft Office documents are ubiquitous. However, the Microsoft
Office suite is not available for all platforms and comes with a
prohibitive cost attached to it. While a variety of open source
readers are available to read the MS Office suite formats, you can’t
always count on the user having installed one these readers. On the
other hand, PDF viewers are common, freely available, and have a much
smaller footprint than an office suite. This presentation will show
you how to programatically convert Word and Excel documents into PDF,
using open source tools and PHP."
Should be a great presentation! Tell your friends! Tell your co-workers!

Hope to see you there!
