ITextSharp couldn't parse word document. You need to use word interop dll (require MS Word) or 3rd party library instead. Use free spire.doc library you can simply convert word to pdf without Word: //Load Document Document document = new Document(); document.LoadFromFile(@ "E:\work\documents\TestSample.docx" ); //Convert Word to PDF document.SaveToFile( "toPDF.PDF" , FileFormat.PDF); https://www.e-iceblue.com/Tutorials/Spire.Doc/Spire.Doc-Program-Guide/How-to-Convert-Word-to-PDF.html

Using LEADTOOLS you can convert Word template file (.dotx) to PDF with few lines of code similar to this: using (DocumentConverter documentConverter = new DocumentConverter()) { var jobData = DocumentConverterJobs.CreateJobData(@ "C:\WordTemplate.dotx" , @ "C:\WordTemplate.pdf" , DocumentFormat.Pdf); jobData.JobName = "conversion job" ; var job = documentConverter.Jobs.CreateJob(jobData); documentConverter.Jobs.RunJob(job); if (job.Status == DocumentConverterJobStatus.Success) { Console.WriteLine( "Success" ); } else { Console.WriteLine( "{0} Errors" , job.Status); foreach (var error in job.Errors) { Console.WriteLine( " {0} at {1}: {2}" , error.Operation, error.InputDocumentPageNumber, error.Error.Message); } } } It also supports converting a wide set of common document formats.
