GemBox had a free version which allowed me to easily convert my Excel workbooks to PDF. iTextSharp was a good recommendation, but in the end I went with GemBox. Thank you both!

Using C# .NET, I'm looking for a way to convert Excel documents to PDF without using paid third party tools or Office Interop assemblies (free third party tools are ok). This application needs to run on a server, so unmanaged code (i.e, Office Interop) is a big no.<br />

Appreciate any insight about where to begin my research!

Programatically convert Excel (or all MS Office Docs) to PDF (Using C# .NET)

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

A Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format consisting of an electronic image resembling a printed document and can be viewed, printed, and electronically transmitted. PDF files can store various types of data, including formatted text, vector graphics, and raster images. The page layout defines the location, size, and shape of each page and each item on the page. The information looks the same no matter what device or program is used to open it.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
