    Word ByteArray to PDF

    I have an application where a Word document is filled out and saved as a blob.
    I want to display that document over the web but I do not want it to open in Word where anyone can edit the fields.
    I was hoping to convert the word blob to a pdf on the fly.
    Any advice on the subject would be appreciated.
    Thx

    Hey,

    You should be able to use the iTextSharp library to do this;

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/

    If you search these forums, you should find some examples of doing this.

    I'm a long time iTextsharp user, for some reason I didn't think to use it for conversion...

    Hey,

    I am "fairly" sure that you should be able to do this, but that was a bit of an assumption on my part, as I have never done it

    Will be good to hear back from you if you are able to do it.
