How convert word document to pdf programmatically

I try to generate word document using this code:

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";

HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/doc";
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; 
filename=" + DateTime.Now + ".doc");

var strHTMLContent = new StringBuilder();

strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<h1 title='Heading' align='Center'style='font-family: verdana; font 
-size: 80 % ;color: black'><u>Document Heading</u> </h1> ");

strHTMLContent.Append("<br>");
strHTMLContent.Append("<table align='Center'>");

// Row with Column headers
strHTMLContent.Append("<tr>");
strHTMLContent.Append("<td style='width:100px; background:# 99CC00'>
<b>Column1 </b>  </td>");

strHTMLContent.Append("<td style='width:100px;background:# 99CC00'>
<b>Column2 </b>  </td>");

strHTMLContent.Append("<td style='width:100px; background:# 99CC00'>
<b>Column 3</b></td>");
strHTMLContent.Append(" </tr> ");

// First Row Data
strHTMLContent.Append("<tr>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'></td>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'>b</td>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'>c</td>");
strHTMLContent.Append("</tr>");

// Second Row Data
strHTMLContent.Append("<tr>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'>d</td>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'>e</td>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<td style='width:100px'>f</td>");
strHTMLContent.Append("</tr>");

strHTMLContent.Append("</table>");

strHTMLContent.Append("<br><br>");
strHTMLContent.Append(
    "<p align='Center'> Note : This is a dynamically 
            generated word document  </p> ");
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(strHTMLContent);
//  HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(strHTMLContent);
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();

Does anyone know how to convert this word document to a PDF file programmatically?

After using many different options, this was by far the best one we found. Expensive, but amazing speed and versatility, with decent (though not excellent) support docs. http://www.html-to-pdf.net/Support.aspx#csharp - well worth a look if it's for a commercial project where the cost can be passed on.

Since you are building HTML to convert, you can use iTextSharp API to go from HTML to PDF: ITextSharp HTML to PDF?. iTextSharp is free.

MS .Net Framework does not provide anything by default you will have to use thrid party API for it

For e.g see the link the API easyPDF does conversion using C# http://www.pdfonline.com/easypdf/sdk/programming-pdf/csharp/index.htm?_kk=%2Bpdf%20%2Bc%23&_kt=0e3c1bed-3404-4289-8143-77333a737850&gclid=CPT--pXTk7ECFa4mtAodKn5ylw
