DocToPdfConverter reference error

Hi there,
Please assist as this is driving me crazy.
I am trying to convert a word document to PDF in an ASP.NET MVC application
Below is the code:
The using statements:
usingSyncfusion.DocIO;
usingSyncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
usingSyncfusion.DocToPDFConverter;
usingSyncfusion.Pdf;


Code:

WordDocumentdocument=newWordDocument(path,Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Doc);
DocToPDFConverterconverter=newDocToPDFConverter();
PdfDocumentpdfDoc=converter.ConvertToPDF(document);
My problem is when compiling it gives me errors:

Error	24	The type or namespace name 'DocIO' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error	25	The type or namespace name 'DocToPDFConverter' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error	26	The type or namespace name 'Pdf' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I have added references according to article: 
https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-document-conversions#converting-word-documents-to-pdf

But it does not work according to the site.

If I add references to:

DocIO.MVC, DocIO.Helper.MVC, Pdf.Helper.MVC and Pdf.MVC then I get rid of the errors except:

Error	25	The type or namespace name 'DocToPDFConverter' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
This is driving me me crazy as I have been struggling for 2 days.

I am using Visual Studio 2013 with Syncfusion 13.4.0.63. My project is .NET 4.5.1

What is going on?

Neill

Hi Customer,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We are unable to reproduce the mentioned issue with given details. We suspect your sample may have assemblies referred with higher framework assemblies. Please use proper framework assemblies in your project, and try to resolve the issue.

Note: If you’re using .NET 4.5.1, then you can refer assemblies from .NET 3.5 to .NET 4.5.1.

For converting a Word document to PDF, the following assemblies need to be referenced in your application

1. Syncfusion.DocIO.Base
2. Syncfusion.Compression.Base
3. Syncfusion.OfficeChart.Base
4. Syncfusion.Pdf.Base
5. Syncfusion.DocToPdfConverter.Base
