Hi,

I need a software (free is better...) which allow me to convert any file to 
pdf by command line. Would you know anyone?

Thanks for you reply!

That's not possible. Each kind of file that needs to be converted
needs a different programming task. So you might find a tool to
convert any file type from a list, but not ANY file.

So, you could probably start by letting us know
* what file types, exactly?
* what platform?
* server or end-user?

Without giving any details ---

You can *encapsulate* any files in a pdf as attachments.  These attacments
can be extracted using pdftk (a command line program) or using a recent
version of Acrobat Reader.  It is kind of like an email with attachments,
but in a single .pdf file. 

To create such a pdf from the command line, you can use pdflatex (another
command line program) and the attachfile package.  You need to create a
simple .tex file to use as a template referencing the names of the files to
be attached.

All of these programs are free and can be googled for.
