I think the _A_K_ suggested you a good article

You can also to use online API, ie I would like to suggest the Restfull service http://www.convertapi.com/api/word-pdf-api.

A following console app example below can be used in ASP.NET applications too.

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Word2Pdf
{
    class Program
    {
        [STAThreadAttribute]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            using (var client = new WebClient())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Please choose a Word document to convert to PDF.");

                var openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog {Filter = 
"Word document(*.doc;*.docx)|*.doc;*.docx"};
                if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog()!=DialogResult.OK) return;                               
                var fileToConvert = openFileDialog.FileName;

                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Converting the file {0} Please wait.", fileToConvert));

                var data = new NameValueCollection();               
                data.Add("OutputFileName", "MyFile.pdf"); 

                try
                {                    
                    client.QueryString.Add(data);
                    var response = 
client.UploadFile("http://do.convertapi.com/word2pdf", fileToConvert);
                    var responseHeaders = client.ResponseHeaders;
                    var web2PdfOutputFileName = responseHeaders["OutputFileName"];
                    var path = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), web2PdfOutputFileName);
                    File.WriteAllBytes(path, response);
                    Console.WriteLine("The conversion was successful! The word file {0} converted to PDF and saved at {1}", fileToConvert, path);
                }
                catch (WebException e)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Exception Message :" + e.Message);
                    if (e.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ProtocolError)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("Status Code : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusCode);
                        Console.WriteLine("Status Description : {0}", ((HttpWebResponse)e.Response).StatusDescription);
                    }

                }


            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Or you can also to convert document of Word to PDF by Spire.Doc (http://www.e-iceblue.com/Introduce/word-for-net-introduce.html[^]), for example:

C#

Spire.Doc.Document doc = new Spire.Doc.Document("my document.doc/docx")
doc.SaveToFile("pdf document.pdf", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.PDF);

Spire.Doc is an MS Word component which enables user to perform a wide range of Word document processing tasks directly, such as generate, read, write and modify Word document for .NET. It supports C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, ASP.NET and MVC.

Hello, I found a method to convert with Word automation.
But it seems a little slow to convert

C#

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

...

// Create a new Microsoft Word application object
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application word = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();

// C# doesn't have optional arguments so we'll need a dummy value
object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

// Get list of Word files in specified directory
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"\\server\folder");
FileInfo[] wordFiles = dirInfo.GetFiles("*.doc");

word.Visible = false;
word.ScreenUpdating = false;

foreach (FileInfo wordFile in wordFiles)
{
    // Cast as Object for word Open method
    Object filename = (Object)wordFile.FullName;

    // Use the dummy value as a placeholder for optional arguments
    Document doc = word.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
    doc.Activate();

    object outputFileName = wordFile.FullName.Replace(".doc", ".pdf");
    object fileFormat = WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF;

    // Save document into PDF Format
    doc.SaveAs(ref outputFileName,
        ref fileFormat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
        ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

    // Close the Word document, but leave the Word application open.
    // doc has to be cast to type _Document so that it will find the
    // correct Close method.                
    object saveChanges = WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges;
    ((_Document)doc).Close(ref saveChanges, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
    doc = null;
}

// word has to be cast to type _Application so that it will find
// the correct Quit method.
((_Application)word).Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
word = null;
