iTextSharp - Convert word doc/docx to pdf

I understand iTextSharp can be used for converting a document to pdf.

But first we have to create a document from scratch using iTextSharp.text.Document and then adding elements to this document.

What if I have an existing doc file, is it possible to convert this document to pdf using iTextSharp.

Also, I want to use iTextSharp or any similar tool which can perform following on a doc file:

  1. manipulation of doc/docx/text files (like replacing some placeholders with DB values) as well as
  2. converts them to .pdf

Anyone having idea about this, please share.

Thank you!

If you do not care about whether the formatting will be faithful to what Word would display, there is the impressive docx2tex which converts Word 2007 docx files to Latex documents. Once in Latex, you have a lot of power to programmitically reformat the document, and generate PDF from it.

I say more about the utility in an answer at tex.stackexchange.
