直接将docx stream转换为pdf

Question

I need to convert any file coming from web response into.pdf format, I'm currently getting it word docx file format from the URL and saving it into memory stream so i can later insert it in it's designated library.

The problem I'm facing now is that I'm saving my docx files directly into.pdf by putting an extension at the end which obviously ends up not opening the file later, So i'm trying to convert my memory stream into pdf directly.

Here is my piece of code that i tried to convert the the stream to.pdf but it looks like the file isn't getting converted correctly.

private Stream DownloadFromUrl(string url)
        {
            var webRequest = WebRequest.Create(url);
            webRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
            webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true;
            webRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            //EventLogUtility.LogInformationMessage(DocumentURL);
            string message = string.Empty;
            using (Stream outputStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                using (var response = webRequest.GetResponse())
                {

                    using (var content = response.GetResponseStream())
                    {
                        var memory = new MemoryStream();
                        content.CopyTo(memory);
                        Document doc = new Document(memory);
                        doc.Save(memory, SaveFormat.Pdf);
                        return memory;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

If the content in the stream is actually in the Microsoft Word file format (and not just plain text), then you need to map the format to the file format for PDF. I know there is a 'Print to PDF' function available in Word, you could try looking into that.
