- Raster Edge - Very expensive
- Gembox.Document - $480
- Subsystems - $550
- Muhimbi - Expensive and uses Office interop
- ActivePDF - $400. I think they use Office interop on the server
- Office Interop - Free, but not supported by M$ and ... just don't.
- Open Office Interop - Also free. Also scary.
Prices in US$ are current as of January, 2014
What is this interop of which you speak?
Where you install Word or something on the server, include the DLL in your project as a reference and then call methods. Problem is these libraries were not written for multi-user/server/web environments. Almost 100% guaranteed to give you errors.
You could take a look into Aspose.Pdf for .NET
Two questions come to mind:
- What is the business case/quantity of Office documents you are translating? Is this a web app that will have hundreds of thousands of users hitting the web server simultaneously, or are you OK with a batch style or to throttle the number of users?
- What level of quality do you want the PDF at? Print-quality, or web?
