Converting Docx to an image(png, bitmap ect) without office installed on the machine

Question

Ok I have been looking for a working answer for this for a while, and I can't quite find what I'm looking for. I need a suggestion for how I would go about converting a Docx file to an image without office being installed(or any other software that would need to be installed) on the machine. The function will be running in the cloud so I need something that will take in a stream, and return a list of streams each representing the pages of the document. I'm working in c#, and any suggestion on free 3rd party library's that would be easy to use would be great. Also any code examples would be awesome as well. Thank you

Office 2007 supports new Open XML file formats.

The Open XML file formats are a public standard.

Microsoft provides an SDK for manipulating Open XML file formats from the .NET 3.x Framework.
