How to Convert Word File to PDF in C#

In this tutorial, we explore the process of converting Word documents to PDF using C# and the IronPDF library. The first step involves exporting the Word document as an HTML file. This is achieved by opening the Word document, navigating to the file tab, selecting 'Save as,' and choosing 'Web Page' as the file type. With the HTML version ready, we proceed to Visual Studio to write the conversion code. Ensure you have the latest version of IronPDF installed via the NuGet Package Manager. Start by importing the IronPDF library and setting up the license key. The ChromePdfRenderer class is then utilized to render the HTML file as a PDF, with the option to add a stamp, such as an image of the IronPDF logo, to the document. Finally, the PDF can be saved to a file or stream. A 30-day free trial key or a purchased license is available from the IronPDF website. Once the project is run, the Word document is converted to PDF while maintaining its original formatting and any added stamps. This tutorial offers an efficient solution without needing Word Interop, and additional support is available if needed.
