I am trying to allow my users to convert infopath forms first to a .mht
format and subsquently to PDF. This works fine in InfoPath 2007 with Office
2007, but my users have Office 2003 and InfoPath 2003. Is there any converter
that could help do the job without having to install it on all user desktops?

Can anyone suggest a workaround? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

One workaround would be to convert the Xml from your form into HTML, and
then to PDF. I have an article here that discusses this approach:

http://www.infopathkb.com/Knowledge%20Base/How-to-convert-an-InfoPath-Form-to-PD
F-without-InfoPath.aspx

There are also "PDF Printers" that are InfoPath-aware if that helps - search
for "Infopath pdf" and you should come up with a couple of them.

HTH

Gavin.
