    why don't you just use a cronjob to automatically convert any files in a directory then use ftp to put any files in that directory
    Free as in freedom, not as in beard.

    I have built the server and installed the cups and cups-pdf I have also installed Samba so the Windows machines can see it. How do I connect the windwos machines to the ubuntu server so they can start using the pdf creator? Please advise.

    Here is the simple solution:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

    Just install that on each Windows PC.

    Cheers,
