We have a client with a requirement to automatically create a PDF copy of a Word document when the Word doc hits a major version.
I am aware there are third party apps for this, but we'd prefer to develop this ourselves.
Word Automation Services is not available in SharePoint Online, so we do not have that option.
We'd prefer not to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as we'd then need a client running with MS Word.
It would seem like the CSOM Microsoft.SharePoint.Client would be able to do this somehow. I'd imagine that's how the third party apps are accomplishing this. However I'm not seeing specifically how to save to PDF via CSOM.
Can anyone provide insight on how to accomplish this programatically?
Thanks
