Yes, you can convert a Word document to PDF in Xamarin with a few lines of code easily. You need to refer Syncfusion.Xamarin.DocIORenderer from nuget.org

Assembly assembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
// Retrieves the document stream from embedded Word document
Stream inputStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("WordToPDF.Assets.GettingStarted.docx");
string fileName = "GettingStarted.pdf";
// Creates new instance of WordDocument
WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(inputStream,Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Automatic);
inputStream.Dispose();
// Creates new instance of DocIORenderer for Word to PDF conversion
DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();
// Converts Word document into PDF document
PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);
// Releases all resources used by the DocIORenderer and WordDocument instance
render.Dispose();
document.Close();
// Saves the converted PDF file
MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream();
pdfDocument.Save(outputStream);
// Releases all resources used by the PdfDocument instance
pdfDocument.Close();
