We use doc2pdf in a C# windows service to parse documents. Windows service requires to run under administrator user to run doc2pdf.
My question to you,
Is it really admin user require to run doc2pdf in windows server or can we remove admin user and set any other user instead?

--------------------------------------
You can run doc2pdf.exe from any user account even if this user account hasn't administrator privilege, because doc2pdf.exe is require MS Office to convert office documents to PDF files, so this user account must has enough privilege to run MS Office applications.
You can also download and try our DOC to Any Converter Command Line software, DOC to Any Converter Command Line has three methods to convert office files to PDF files,
1. Use MS Office,
2. Use OpenOffice,
3. Use VeryDOC's Office render engine,
We hope this software will work better for you,
