title: iTextSharp - Convert word doc/docx to pdf
body: <p>I understand iTextSharp can be used for converting a document to pdf.</p>
  
  <p>But first we have to create a document from scratch using iTextSharp.text.Document and then adding elements to this document.</p>
  
  <p>What if I have an existing doc file, is it possible to convert this document to pdf using iTextSharp.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I want to use iTextSharp or any similar tool which can perform following on a doc file:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>manipulation of doc/docx/text files (like replacing some placeholders with DB values) as well as</li>
  <li>converts them to .pdf</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Anyone having idea about this, please share.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
