convert a jpg/png/txt or any file format to pdf using mvc5

How do i convert a jpg/png/txt or any file format to pdf using mvc c#. Here is the code:

public ActionResult SaveProfileDocument(string code)
{
bool isSavedSuccessfully = true;
string fName = "";
string _documentname = String.Empty;
try
{
foreach (string fileName in Request.Files)
{
HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files[fileName];
//Save file content goes here
fName = file.FileName;
if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
{
var originalDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(string.Format("{0}Documents\\Profile\\" + code, Server.MapPath(@"\")));
string pathString = System.IO.Path.Combine(originalDirectory.ToString());
var fileName1 = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
bool isExists = System.IO.Directory.Exists(pathString);
if (!isExists)
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(pathString);
_documentname=fName;
var path = string.Format("{0}\\{1}", pathString, file.FileName);
if (System.IO.File.Exists(path)) {
_documentname=Guid.NewGuid()+"_"+file.FileName;
var path2 = string.Format("{0}\\{1}", pathString,_documentname );
file.SaveAs(path2);
}
else {
file.SaveAs(path);
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
isSavedSuccessfully = false;
}
if (isSavedSuccessfully)
{
return Json(new { Message = fName, documentname = _documentname });
}
else
{
return Json(new { Message = "Error in saving file", documentname=""});
}
}

In the above code i am saving the file.but here i need to convert the file and then save.

so for convert i need a separate class or method here only call that method.

The thing is that while upload a file inthat time need to convert pdf any file to convert pdf. and save in folder or whatever.

One of good approaches is to use DocumentConverter class from LEADTOOLS which provides the ability to convert different image and document formats including (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, XLS, DOCX, etc.) to PDF or other formats. Check below link for more details and sample code:
