I understand iTextSharp can be used for converting a document to pdf.

But first we have to create a document from scratch using iTextSharp.text.Document and then adding elements to this document.

What if I have an existing doc file, is it possible to convert this document to pdf using iTextSharp.

Also, I want to use iTextSharp or any similar tool which can perform following on a doc file:

manipulation of doc/docx/text files (like replacing some placeholders with DB values) as well as
converts them to .pdf

Anyone having idea about this, please share.

Thank you!

The Aspose.Words component can do this reliably (I’m not affiliated or anything).

iTextSharp does not have the required feature set to load and process MS Word file formats.
