    All formats of what? You can't - as you were told yesterday - how would you convert an exe for instance? Try to make your question more specific.

      In addition to being just being normally impossible because of the vast number of formats in existence (many of which containing data that would not make sense in PDF form), it is also fundamentally impossible. What if anyone makes a new format? That problem can not be solved, and new formats are being made probably every day, maybe even more often.

          If you're not using a converter, how will anything get converted?

              Ok, but AFAIK it's not a converter. Anyway, what is your question?

                My task is to upload E-Books.I mean if client uploads any format of book to my server it should be converted to pdf internally.That means I have to convert different formats to pdf internally using .net code.Its not so easy so, i want to use third party tools.But I dont have any idea.

                  What if you print them to a PDF printer? Most book formats should be printable.. That's just an idea though, I have no idea what would be the best solution.

                    There's an article on iTextSharp[^]. You said that you're currently converting to PDF with the Google webservice, you'd just need to replace that part.

                      Google webservice is nothing but in which format we upload, it will display in that format.For example,if i upload word document it will open word document.But i want to convert to pdf. To know what is google docs,Once you open your gmail account and if you get any attached document just open it once,that document will be opened in another window which is noting but google docs.Is conversion possible?

                        As suggested before you can either write a program to do the conversion for you, using iTextSharp or similar third party library, or use one of the many PDF printer drivers to create the PDF files.

                        It's time for a new signature.

                          Just a thought - how are you going to deal with the DRM on most ebook formats?
