You should never use Office Automation on a web server (it is a recommmandation of Microsoft).

My needs to generate PDFs too.
Is it possible to first generate to DOCx and then PDF (to make sure they look the same)?

Well... that's the theory. I've installed and used office automation in a web server. I've made automation for both Word and Excel applications without any major problem. It's true that in the very first days we had to deal with some many permission issues, but once resolved, all is OK until now.

If you use Aspose.Words which I have proposed in your other question, it can save the document as a PDF also.
