Is there any (easy) way to convert a doc or docx to pdf, server side? Any good/free libraries that can do it?

Thanks in advance

Edit:

I tried with the office interop. But my server does not have word or office running and I don't want to be dependent of it.

We use http://www.aspose.com/categories/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net/default.aspx

It's not free and it doesn't handle floated elements very well, but it does the job.

It's pretty simple to use:

Document document = new Document(Path.Combine(filePath, fileName));

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
    // convert to PDF
    document.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Pdf);

    // Do stuff
}

I found another way to do what I needed. I used OpenOffice service and combined it with a python command, python script, and an auto generated batch script. did the job perfectly and surprisingly quickly

As an alternative, you could install this free print driver: http://www.dopdf.com/

When you print to it, the output is a pdf file.
