Is there a way of converting a word docx file to pdf without having MS word on the system. Our infrastructure team doesnt want to install MS Word/Open office on the server because of security reasons.

I have tried using docx.codeplex.com to manipulate the content of word file which docx.codeplex handles perfectly.

Any thoughts/experiences are much appreciated.

  • Its not a duplicate. The link you mentioned is using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word assembly which requires word to be installed on the system to work – blue piranha Jan 27 '15 at 16:58
  • There's more that one answer there giving you MANY other options. – Marc B Jan 27 '15 at 16:58
  • I do it with a DevExpress DocumentServer. (these are commercial libraries) – DrKoch Jan 27 '15 at 17:15
