I'm looking for a way to convert docx documents to pdf, on a system which doesn't has office installed. In the end, this is supposed to run as a service.
A:
There are bunches of free converters out there. Google Docs is one option. You can email documents to [email protected]. See also: http://lifehacker.com/353692/five-email-addresses-that-convert-documents

This is not what i'm looking for. I want to write it myself so I can run it as a service on AppFabric.

See this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1537063/itextsharp-convert-word-doc-docx-to-pdf
The top answer says to use this component from Aspose.

There is:
- the proprietary library PDFLib which we use at the company where i work
- the free ITextSharp
- ABCPdf from WebSuperGoo, which you can get a free license for, if you link back to them.

Those are indeed pretty usefull, but I already found those by googling myself. (I've been looking for a few days now).What I really need is library for converting existing doc(x) documents to pdf, not just a lib to create pdf's.Thanks for the effort anyways, it's very appreciated.
