You can use my code,it works without any exception and doesn't keep opened COM objects on the background processes.

Application app = new Application();
                app.Visible = false;
                app.DisplayAlerts = WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;
                Documents documents = app.Documents;
                Document doc = documents.Open(fileLocation);
                newPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(fileLocation);
                newPath = newPath.Replace(newPath, outLocation);
                if (!File.Exists(newPath))
                {
                    doc.SaveAs2(newPath, WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF);
                }

                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(documents);
                doc.Close();
                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);
                app.Quit();
                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(app);

You can use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll to convert Word file to PDF.

Install the package first and add a reference to it.

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

Then use the following code to Convert word document to PDF.

Application app = new Application();
Document doc = app.Documents.Open(@"D:/test.docx");
doc.SaveAs2(@"D:/test.pdf", WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF);
doc.Close();
app.Quit();
Console.WriteLine("Completed");

//Add Office Library

using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

object str_letter_path = @"D:\DOCTEST.doc";
object outputFilePathPDF = @"D:\PDFTEST.PDF";

Word.Application wordApp = new Word.Application();
wordApp.Visible = false;
wordApp.ScreenUpdating = false;

object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object fileFormat = Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF;

Word.Document doc = wordApp.Documents.Open(ref str_letter_path, ref oMissing,
                ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
                ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
                ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

            doc.Activate();

            doc.SaveAs(ref outputFilePathPDF,
                            ref fileFormat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
                            ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
                            ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
                            ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

            object saveChanges = Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges;
            if (doc != null)
                ((Word._Document)doc).Close(ref saveChanges, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
            ((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application)wordApp).Quit(ref saveChanges, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

private Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass MSdoc;       

        //Use for the parameter whose type are not known or say Missing
        object Unknown = Type.Missing;

  private void word2PDF(object Source, object Target)
        {   //Creating the instance of Word Application          
       if (MSdoc == null)MSdoc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();

            try
            {  
                MSdoc.Visible = false;               
                MSdoc.Documents.Open(ref Source, ref Unknown,
                     ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                     ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                     ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                     ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
                MSdoc.Application.Visible = false;
                MSdoc.WindowState = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMinimize;               

                object format = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF;

                MSdoc.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(ref Target, ref format,
                        ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                        ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                        ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                        ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown,
                       ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (MSdoc != null)
                {
                    MSdoc.Documents.Close(ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
                    //WordDoc.Application.Quit(ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
                }               
                // for closing the application
                WordDoc.Quit(ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
            }
        }

Prerequisites:

  • MS word2007 with (Primary Interoperability assembly will be installed by default).
  • plugin SaveAsPDFandXPS (free from MS Site)

Make sure you have reference to Word.12. It will automatically add Microsoft.Office.interop.word to your reference. Follow these for other office application. (Note: you should have installed VS 2005 Tools for Office 2nd Ed. Runtime (VSTO 2005 SE) (x86)
