Several options

• Aspose - Expensive
• Textcontrol - Very expensive
• Spire - $800
• Raster Edge - Very expensive
• Gembox.Document - $480
• Subsystems - $550
• Muhimbi - Expensive and uses Office interop
• ActivePDF - $400. I think they use Office interop on the server
• Office Interop - Free, but not supported by M$ and ... just don't.
• Open Office Interop - Also free. Also scary.

Prices in US$ are current as of January, 2014

What is this interop of which you speak?

Where you install Word or something on the server, include the DLL in your project as a reference and then call methods. Problem is these libraries were not written for multi-user/server/web environments. Almost 100% guaranteed to give you errors.

You could take a look into Aspose.Pdf for .NET

Two questions come to mind:

1. What is the business case/quantity of Office documents you are translating? Is this a web app that will have hundreds of thousands of users hitting the web server simultaneously, or are you OK with a batch style or to throttle the number of users?
2. What level of quality do you want the PDF at? Print-quality, or web?
