Hi


I wonder if anyone knows of any way to convert a word or excel file into PDF in vb.net.



Regards
 
I don't think it can be done.

You can convert a Crystal Report to PDF through .Net. If you're desperate you may be able to convert an excel file to a Crystal report...don't know about Word though.

There are 3rd party tools out there that offer PDF conversion.
 
You can try a free program called PDF995 ( its free except for an ad that pops up when you run the PDF compiler, your resultant PDF is un-touched :D

Best of all, a license is only $9.95! (hence the name)

Its just installed as a "printer" on the PC, so you just "print" to it and it prompts for a file name. In less than 2 seconds you can convert ANY print-able file into a PDF.

Sorry if it seems I'm advertising but I absolutely LOVE this program :D
 
Take a look at They have a product that will output to either tiff and/or pdf. It works as a printer. It's not cheap tho. $125. You can download and try it for free for 30 days. I really like this site as I have used their tools in the past to do some other conversions.

Their tools are fast, work well, and fairly inexpensive.
