Hi Arpan,

I have used this activity and its is converting fine. Only issue that I observed it is that it probably depends upon the size of the file for the amount of time it take to convert it into PDF.
For 4.5 mb file it took almost 4 to 6 seconds.

So was thinking if we have any better way, in terms of faster execution time, to achieve this.

Thanks for the reply though!

Thank you Paul for your reply.

I went through the post and they have used word activity or some 3rd part API. Also they have used a VB code to convert word to pdf.

I wanted to know if there is any equivalent way of that code in C#, probably can use that since my Project is in C# compatibility.
