title: How do I convert Word files to PDF programmatically?
body: <p>I have found several open-source/freeware programs that allow you to convert .doc files to .pdf files, but they're all of the application/printer driver variety, with no SDK attached.</p>
  
  <p>I have found several programs that do have an SDK allowing you to convert .doc files to .pdf files, but they're all of the proprietary type, $2,000 a license or thereabouts.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any clean, inexpensive (preferably free) programmatic solution to my problem, using C# or VB.NET?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
