Any Document Image to PDF Convert in Windows Phone app in C#

I am developing in app, there is requirement that, I have to convert all the documents like .doc, .docx, .xls,.xlsx, ppt, pptx, jpg, png etc...... to the .pdf file and save it to my Windows Phone directory under Phone Memory Documents Folder, how can I proceed?

Thanks in advance.

The details depend on the Windows Phone version that you want to use.
I noticed that you posted your question under Windows Phone 7. Do you want to create your app for Windows Phone 7? Or for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1? Or all of these?
In all cases, I only found the following post about converting DOC to PDF using direct visual studio .NET class:

As you can clearly see, this is a desktop application and not a native Windows Phone solution. It requires Microsoft Word to be installed on the machine, among other things.

Are you interested in writing file filters for all of these different formats? Are you looking for source code to do that, or are you looking for suggestions on available tools to help you accomplish this?

About the other formats, you might be able to do this using direct VS .NET classes, but I am not sure. I am currently using a good programming toolkit to support converting from document formats to PDF. You can find more information about this toolkit here:

You also mention in your post that you want to save these new files directly to "Phone Memory Documents Folder". Are you also in need of help on how to do this, or are you just looking for help tackling the file format conversion?
