    Convert Word Doc to PDF

    Is there a simple and quick way to convert a word doc to a pdf within ASP.NET? I realise it'll need a third-party component - any suggestions? Ideally I don't want to have to install Adobe Acrobat on the server!

    I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but I have used the crystal report viewer control (not visible to the user) to generate a PDF in ASP.NET at runtime then send it as an attachment to an email.

    Basically I have a file sharing facility that shares Word documents - people can download, edit and upload new versions. However when a user says the document is complete the Word document must be converted to a PDF file on the fly. All documents are stored in the web servers file system.
