Remarks
The result of the conversion is a PdfDocument object that can be further modified, saved to memory or into a file on the disk. The conversion runs in-process; no engine is launched. Options, Header and Footer mirror the html converter's, so a document setup written for HtmlToPdf applies here unchanged.
Example
Copy
WordToPdf converter = new WordToPdf();
converter.Options.MarginTop = 20;
PdfDocument doc = converter.ConvertFile("report.docx");
doc.Save("report.pdf");
doc.Close();
