Question Automatically generate PDF from saved word doc

Hi,

I manage the website for a hotel and restaurant.

To display the menu online I use Dropbox and then on the website link to the "menu.pdf" file within.


The menu changes every night so currently the hotel staff have to:

1. Edit the menu word document for the evenings menu
2. Print said menu for the in house menus
3. Overwrite the "menu.pdf" file in the Dropbox folder by saving from word


This is obviously time consuming and should the staff forget step 3 (which is often the case) the menu on the website will not be updated.

I was wondering if it is possible instead to:

1. Edit the menu word document for the evenings menu
2. Print
3. Save file
4. And then Automatically overwrite the "menu.pdf" in the dropbox folder

Is this a possibility?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
