Need to find DOCX to PDF Conversion C# API

From within C#, I want to be able to take a DOCX file and convert it to PDF.

How can I do this?

The catch is that I would like to do other types too, e.g. images, doc files, etc.

I also ideally would like there to be no office installed on the computer wher开发者_运维知识库e this software will be running.

Perhaps the answer is to some software that 'prints to pdf'

My software is dealing with arrays of data representing the file, so it would ideally be some kind of API that handles byte arrays.

There aren't a ton of good C# libraries for this one. It's hard to do without COM.

Here's one option:

If you want something free (but requires Microsoft Word to be installed), you could try using Word itself via .NET code:

It isn't the solution for everything but it can be useful at times.
