Hi There,


Thanks for contacting support.

Aspose.Pdf does not support the feature of Word Documents to PDF conversion, but you can use our Aspose.Words API which serves the required feature. I am moving your inquiry to the Aspose.Words forums and I am sure that one of my colleagues over there, will reply you accordingly.


Best Regards,
Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. With Aspose.Words for .NET, you can import a Word document into Aspose.Words' DOM from stream and save it into PDF file format. After saving the document to PDF, convert the PDF stream into bytes and re-attach it to CRM.

You may also use Aspose.Words Plugin for Dynamics CRM. Please refer to the following article. Hope this helps you.

Hi Tahir ;


Thanks for your reply. i am trying to use the Aspose.word dll for .net in MSCRM (online) plugin as an evaluation. do i need any trail license for it or i can just use it ??
Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that in evaluation mode there are some limitations applied. E.g. Aspose.Words injects an evaluation watermark at the top of the document. The document's contents are truncated after a certain number of paragraphs during import or export.
