I am looking for a PDF/A Converter .NET Component or a way to make one what all technologies of components should be used? Ii would take a word document as as stream and convert it into pdf etc.

Convert word (2003/2007 mostly..and if other office formats etc it would be good.

Convert not create.

Thanks in advance.

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

Two questions come to mind:

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?
What level of quality do you want the PDF at? Print-quality, or web?

ActivePDF is a good product, but I believe default is to use the Office back-engine, which means it is limited to instances of office run on the machine. Ghostscript is a great multi-threaded product and is opensource, but it can only handle postscript to PDF, so users would need to generate their own PS files through a print driver. My experience with Office to PDF has been less than fun (especially dealing with proprietary MS formats), so I'd recommend taking a step back and determining if you really need Office to PDF.

When generating PDFs, often applications will spawn an instance of Office to generate postscript files. You'll note that ActivePDF requires Office -- "Microsoft Office 2007, if converting Microsoft Office files. (This is the recommended configuration for processing Office files.)" at http://www.activepdf.com/products/serverproducts/docconverter2009/sysreqs.cfm Problem is Office 2007 isn't really meant to be multi-threaded, so you may run into concurrency issues if you go this route.
