You can download the "Save As PDF" add-on for Word 2007 and higher to save the Word document directly as PDF.

If that doesn't meet your needs, you can search for some of the tools that let you "print to a file". You could then print from Word to an image file and use iTextSharp to put that image into a PDF.

I'm not sure how many free solutions you'll find, but in the past, I developed a service that saved a Word doc as a PDF, then manipulated it with iTextSharp. The only external expense for that was Word itself.
