There are multiple options you can pick which will allow you to take a file and convert it to PDF; however, you will run into a limitation with certain file types as the scope of what file types are supported in solutions is limited. A solution you can look into using is the DocumentConverter provided in the LEADTOOLS SDK which will allow you to take over 150 different formats and convert them into a searchable PDF. You can try the following code to perform this conversion. private static void DocumentConvert( string inputFile, string outputFile) { using (DocumentConverter documentConverter = new DocumentConverter()) { IOcrEngine ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD); ocrEngine.Startup( null , null , null , null ); documentConverter.SetOcrEngineInstance(ocrEngine, true ); documentConverter.SetDocumentWriterInstance( new DocumentWriter()); var inputDocument = DocumentFactory.LoadFromFile(inputFile, new LoadDocumentOptions()); DocumentConverterJobData jobData = new DocumentConverterJobData() { Document = inputDocument, OutputDocumentFileName = outputFile, DocumentFormat = DocumentFormat.Pdf, AnnotationsMode = DocumentConverterAnnotationsMode.Embed, RasterImageBitsPerPixel = 0, RasterImageFormat = RasterImageFormat.Unknown }; var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData); documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job); } } https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v21/dh/to/summary-of-all-supported-file-formats.html https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/v21/tutorials/dotnet-console-convert-files-with-the-document-converter.html

If you have MS Office with at least the Office 2007 Save as PDF add-in, you can try to use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word methods to load the Word files by code and save as PDF. If you don't have Office installed, you can use a library that doesn't depend on Office for loading Word files and saving PDF like leadtools or OpenOffice. For example on both libraries, see these links: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/852084/Converting-and-Viewing-Documents-with-LEADTOOLS http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11466/Document-conversion-with-OpenOffice

For converting any file (like Word, Excel, HTML, Powerpoint, Image, RTF), Spire.Office is the right tool to use. The code is simple and similiar: For example: word to pdf conversion Document document = new Document(); document.LoadFromFile(@"Demo.docx"); document.SaveToFile("toPDF.PDF", FileFormat.PDF); More examples, please see:http://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials.html
