I'm doing a lot of PPT/PPTX and DOC conversion in one of my apps. Usually I need to convert to image formats, but PDF would be similar: it sometimes simply fails. I think it's because some Office docs have too much gimmicky stuff packed into them.
In any case I use some of the Aspose libraries to do the conversion, maybe give that a try. Solutions which require Office or Openoffice on the server seemed slow and not very scalable to me. Aspose is not without its faults, and it isn't cheap, but it does not require any form of Office and it's pretty fast.
