I do agree activePDF is a hog, but its very versatile - and it does convert
things like doc files, and xls to pdf. Not many products can do that well.
To get round its hoginess I created a fifo queue for all submitted files, so
that it only processed them in the background one at a time, in order and
emailed the resuling PDF as a timed expiring html link to the requestor.
Made it quite efficent actually.

For a subset of those, you could look at abcpdf and/or htmldoc. I have
recently done a lot of scalability testing, and activepdf, while
versatile, is a bit of a hog. abcpdf was, for my money, both very cost
effective, yet highly scalable. And no I'm not affiliated. I used to
recommend htmldoc, but a: it isn't .Net based (need to shell), and b: that
awaited 1.9 (CSS) release is just too long in the coming considering all
the competition now support such. Both of these products really only
address html and images, but are good tools (very, IMO, for abcpdf) at
what they do.
