There are many great (commercial) document libraries which support a doc/docx to pdf conversation and a few other scopes to do this, but I just needed a conversation so I was a bit scared of using a whole library for that.Īlso the other scopes like using Word interop or SharePoint has not been an option for me because a licensed Word/Sharepoint installation is needed for that task.Ī quick look into foxit's printer settings revealed that this could be an option so I had a try and I was really happy that it works for my requirements.
