what kind of files do you want to upload to get them converted to PDF

to generate a PDF from inside FLEX the content should be present inside flash file . So if you are creating a webapplication (swf) file then . you first need to upload the image file to server and then load it inside flash and then you can use the free Alive PDF AS3 library to generate PDF files.

PDF creating in actionscript is possible as far as the content is available inside flash. The content is converted to bitmap and sent for PDF conversion. Uploading files like DOC, PDF and Text and converting them to PDF can be accomplished using some third party tool on your server. You can just initiate uploading of files to server from flash and your server language like asp,php can do the rest of process to receiver the file save it and then launch the third party tool to convert the files.
Flash cannot read the DOC and PDF files in itself so it cannot convert it to PDF.

you can find a lot of programs by simple google searching that can convert DOC to PDF.

But your choice depends upon the price and the features required. Your developers (asp, php, cgi, java) can decide better by using the trial version and see if they can get it working properly on there server.

Accepted Answer
I don't see any any such possibility , reason being the amount of complexity involved into reading and converting different formats. Flash can create client applications which cannot open , load and save files at its own due to security restrictions. So such tasks become difficult.
