    {
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application appWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
        wordDocument = appWord.Documents.Open(@"D:\desktop\xxxxxx.docx");
        wordDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat(@"D:\desktop\DocTo.pdf", WdExportFormat.wdExportFormatPDF);
    }

    public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document wordDocument { get; set; }
