To my knowledge the only free solution is Microsoft Interop Word with iTextsharp. Since you don't want to use Microsoft Interop Word I think you should consider using professional SDK. This code shows how you can convert DOCX to PDF using LEADTOOLS: /*******************************************/ using Leadtools; using Leadtools.Codecs; using Leadtools.Forms.DocumentWriters; using Leadtools.Svg; using Leadtools.Documents; using Leadtools.Caching; using Leadtools.Annotations.Core; using Leadtools.Forms.Ocr; using Leadtools.Documents.Converters; public void DocumentConverterExample() { using (DocumentConverter documentConverter = new DocumentConverter()) { var inFile = @c:\Leadtools.docx; var outFile =@ c:\output.pdf; var format = DocumentFormat.Pdf; var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(inFile outFile format); jobData.JobName = conversion job; var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData); documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job); if (job.Status == DocumentConverterJobStatus.Success) { Console.WriteLine(Success); } else { Console.WriteLine({0} Errors job.Status); foreach (var error in job.Errors) { Console.WriteLine( {0} at {1}: {2} error.Operation error.InputDocumentPageNumber error.Error.Message); } } } } /*******************************************/
