Office 2003 --> Word

[Amrish]

Hi,
I am performing Word (Office 2003) Automation using C# (Visual Studio 2005).
Is there a direct way to convert the Generated document to PDF without using
any third party converters? I tried doing the same but could not find a
method to implement it.

Or Can someone suggest a third party software which would do the same! I
searched for a few but couldn't find proper documentations for the same. can
someone send me the link to the same?

No. No version prior to Office 2007 provides anything at all with which to save
as PDF.

Best place to gather suggestions for third-party software that can save as PDF
is the word.docmanagement newsgroup (the "general questions" group) for
end-users. Most PDF generators install as printer drivers, then print to a
file. For you, that would mean using the PrintOut method with all the necessary
arguments to print to a file.

Given Word 2003, an alternate (and perhaps better) approach would be to save
the document in Word 2003's XML file format, then transform it to PDF. There
are third-party transformation products available, from AltSoft, for example.
