Web service to Convert WORD DOC to PDF VB.NET

After much research, I finally found a web service to convert Doc files
to PDF using a web service.
The pros:
1) Word does not have to be installed on the server
2) Two lines of code after adding the web reference in VB.NET

You have to give the service FTP access to a directory where you can
dump out docs and it will pick them up and write them back as pdf.

I do low volume and they charge me 25 cents per conversion.

I have only found one company in the world that does this, if you have
another, please let me know as I need a backup.
