Can I use Microsoft Office 2010: Primary Interop Assemblies to convert word, excel to PDF? How easy is it? Any C# example?

  • did you tried this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412305.aspx ? – yms May 10 '11 at 00:42
  • Microsoft frowns on such use as they are not scalable. For simple conversions, yes they are great but not for production. – BZ1 May 10 '11 at 04:54

You can't use the interop assemblies without having office installed as well. Once office is installed it works, but to make it reliable and scalable a lot of work is required, but it is not impossible.

Yes, you can use Document.SaveAs to save as a PDF.

It is un-supported and tricky to do this in a non-interactive (or server side) manner.
