Do we have any OOTB way to convert a WORD to PDF file?
Appreciate if anyone can provide any input.

The following post says ConvertAttachmentToPDF no longer works, so this reply is confusing:

We haven't found OOTB way to convert Word to PDF in Pega 722. There is one JS code that does it, but this requires ActiveX that is deprecated in Edge. So this wasn't a feasible option.
We ended up using correspondence rule (w/ css) and HTMLToPDF, which also supports header/footer. This worked out quite well and was able to generate rich looking letter.
