I am working in .Net application with Angular JS. we are attaching file attachments through my applications in many formats (JPEG, GIF, xlsx, bmp, txt, docx, doc, xps,reg, TIFF, PDF, PNG, TIF)
we have a file handler server and want to send this files to destination server, but before sending to another server want to convert this files(different format files) to PDF format.
Please suggest I am fine with paid library or utility.
but new to this implementation and need some guidance.

What I have tried:

I gone through spire.doc but I have a doubt does it convert only doc files to PDF. I want any format to PDF.
also somebody suggested very PDF, but I don't know how to use it in the .Net application

You might want to have a look at Ghostscript[^].

Have you even googled for PDF generators? If so which ones have you already looked at and discounted?

yes all the links redirecting to some utility or library, but how to use that utility in the application, how it will work that I want to study

First, do the basic research to determine if all the types of files you want converted to .pdf format CAN be converted.

Thanks Billwoodruff
I googled for file types that can be converted to PDF, I didnt find any link saying we can convert reg to pdf. I think we can not.

A well known - free of charge - library for .net application is: GitHub - itext/itextsharp: .NET port of the iText library[^]
More you'll find on Google!
An implementation in C# you'll find on CP Knowledge Base[^]

Good luck!
