Conversion of documents to pdf

You can do this with a professional toolkit like LEADTOOLS (https://www.leadtools.com/downloads?category=main) which has image and document conversion as well as OCR features that you can use.

To convert a document (like a DOCX file) into PDF, there is .NET code you can implement as a service:

RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs();
codecs.convert("input.docx", "output.pdf", RasterImageFormat.RasPdfJpeg411, 0, 0, 0, null);

If you want to maintain the text during conversion, another thing you can try is the DocumentConverters class:

using (DocumentConverter documentConverter = new DocumentConverter())
{
var format = DocumentFormat.Pdf;
var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(inFile, outFile, format);
jobData.JobName = "conversion job";
var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData);
documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job);
}

Refer the following Link : Syncfusion's Essential PDF will handle these formats directly, as well as providing a programmatic API which you can use to add other formats.
