Since you have installed Acrobat this will work too:

Dim WordDist As AdobePDFMakerX.Word
Dim WordDistOptions As Object
Dim WordFilename, PDFFileName as string

Set WordDist = New AdobePDFMakerX.Word
Set WordDistOptions = WordDist.Options
WordDist.ActivateWordAndAcrobat
WordDist.WordFilename = WordFilename
WordDistOptions.ViewPDFFile = False
WordDist.CreatePDF WordFilename, PDFFileName
WordDist.DeletePDFMaker10Stuff

Reference "AdobePDFMakerX" and "Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library" to your project.

Acrobat distiller (PDF writer) comes with Licensed version only. PDF reader is available for free on adobe.com. I think you can download Eval version of distiller also from there to start with.
