We have code in our library to optionally create a PDF file by creating a DOCX and then using interop calls, calling Word to open the DOCX and save it as a PDF. (I know this is not a great idea, but it's the least bad option when one needs a pixel perfect
match of the output.)
This works great when running as an app or plain old server. But it is failing in an ASP.NET app, I think due to permission issues. What do I have to do so that an ASP.NET app can call Word (and Excel & PowerPoint) via interop?
And here's the exception trace:

If you sure having permission issue, and if we are talking about web, you ASP.NET app is running under Application Pool User, so give at least ReadOnly permission on file or directory to such such user

How do I set permissions to allows an ASP.NET app to call Microsoft Word via interop?
