I am looking for some good tools (free or paid, though free tool is always preferred)
for doing following operations on word doc files:
-
Manipulation of doc/docx/text files (like replacing some placeholders with DB values) as well as
-
converts doc files to .pdf
Because, I will be using this tool in my WCF service library,
So I am looking for a code library and not for a GUI based product.
Please share your experience regarding same.
Thank you!

Aspose has a decent collection of MS Office and PDF manipulation libraries.

On the off chance that you're only looking for PDFs for viewing or archival purposes, you could also setup a PDF print driver and print your office files into a given location using Automation. You could also edit Office files through Automation although this may be tedious.
