Hi if you have MS Word installed then you could use a Word automation in your C# application  for example like the following: using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word; var application = new Application (); var document = application.Documents.Open(FileName: @C:\Sample.docx ); document.ExportAsFixedFormat(OutputFileName: @C:\Sample.pdf  ExportFormat: WdExportFormat .wdExportFormatPDF); document.Close(); application.Quit(); System.Runtime.InteropServices. Marshal .ReleaseComObject(application); If not than you can try combining an OpenXML SDK and iTextSharp I tried this once but unfortunately the result was not satisfying . You can also try this Word component in C#  I used it in quite a few scenarios and tasks that required a DOCX manipulations in .NET and I must say it is easy to work with. For example here is a direct way you can convert your Word document into a PDF file in .NET : DocumentModel .Load( @C:\Sample.docx  LoadOptions .DocxDefault) .Save( @C:\Sample.pdf  SaveOptions .PdfDefault);

1. Declare a document and load document which you prepare by using ocument.LoadFromFile() method. The parameter passed to this method is file name string. 2. Save Word document as PDF by using document.SaveToFile() method. Parameters passed to this method is file name string and file format. The file format must be PDF. You can download spire.DOC here : http://netword.codeplex.com/ C# using System; using Spire.Doc; using Spire.Doc.Documents; namespace DoctoPDF { class toPDF { static void Main(string[] args) { //Load Document Document document = new Document(); document.LoadFromFile(@E:\work\documents\TestSample.docx); //Convert Word to PDF document.SaveToFile(toPDF.PDF FileFormat.PDF); //Launch Document System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(toPDF.PDF); } } } {Visual Basic] Imports System Imports Spire.Doc Imports Spire.Doc.Documents Namespace DoctoPDF Friend Class toPDF Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String) 'Load Document Dim document As New Document() document.LoadFromFile(E:\work\documents\TestSample.docx) 'Convert Word to PDF document.SaveToFile(toPDF.PDF FileFormat.PDF) 'Launch Document System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(toPDF.PDF) End Sub End Class End Namespace

Add a ref to the Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library & import into the project ( using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;) ApplicationClass wordApp = new ApplicationClass (); Document wordDoc = null ; string paramExportFilePath = @C:\Test.xps ; WdExportFormat paramExportFormat = WdExportFormat.wdExportFormatXPS; bool paramOpenAfterExport = false ; WdExportOptimizeFor paramExportOptimizeFor = WdExportOptimizeFor.wdExportOptimizeForPrint; WdExportRange paramExportRange = WdExportRange.wdExportAllDocument; int paramStartPage = 0; int paramEndPage = 0; WdExportItem paramExportItem = WdExportItem.wdExportDocumentContent; bool paramIncludeDocProps = true ; bool paramKeepIRM = true ; WdExportCreateBookmarks paramCreateBookmarks = WdExportCreateBookmarks.wdExportCreateWordBookmarks; bool paramDocStructureTags = true ; bool paramBitmapMissingFonts = true ; bool paramUseISO19005_1 = false ; try { // Open the source document. wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open( ref paramSourceDocPath ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing); // Export it in the specified format. if (wordDoc != null ) wordDoc.ExportAsFixedFormat(paramExportFilePath paramExportFormat paramOpenAfterExport paramExportOptimizeFor paramExportRange paramStartPage paramEndPage paramExportItem paramIncludeDocProps paramKeepIRM paramCreateBookmarks paramDocStructureTags paramBitmapMissingFonts paramUseISO19005_1 ref paramMissing); } catch ( Exception ex) { // Respond to the error } finally { // Close and release the Document object. if (wordDoc != null ) { wordDoc.Close( ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing); wordDoc = null ; } // Quit Word and release the ApplicationClass object. if (wordApp != null ) { wordApp.Quit( ref paramMissing ref paramMissing ref paramMissing); wordApp = null ; } GC .Collect(); GC .WaitForPendingFinalizers(); GC .Collect(); GC .WaitForPendingFinalizers();

C# does not have any API that can convert a doc file to a PDF.
