convert word doc into PDF using c# code.

[Lucky]

hi guys,
i'm having very terrible problem. I need to print a word doc into pdf.
for this i'm using gostscript to create a virtual printer (http://
www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSWriter/GSWriter.html). and using microsoft
c# code to call this printer and print the document into pdf (http://
support.microsoft.com/kb/322091).

i'm not able to make this C# code work. whenever i'm posting a
document to the printer, it is getting deleted from the print queue
(win32 exception code: 63).
i tried various options on ghostscript virtual printer and also tried
to modify the c# code but not able to do anything around.

if some one had done something like this before, i would appreciate if
you will share your experience. or someone has some better ideas to do
it other way, i would also welcome that as well.

plz guys do post your comments.

Lucky,

some links you may find useful:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/
It is not a printer driver, but it will allow you to create PDFs from
your program.

Good luck,

Hi Janos,
this is very informative library. but it doesn't takes any word
document directly.

I'll keep in mind this library as it can be useful in other cases.

I'm still looking for a way to make PDF out of Word Doc.


Thanks pal.
