Hi Peter, and others,
While the GUI suggestions for printing to PDF are good, I find using GUI
stuff in scripts problematic, and avoid it when I can. I solved the Word to
PDF problem by creating a virtual PDF printer, setting it as the default,
and just telling Word to print. One might want to set the printer
programmatically, which can also be done without going to the GUI.
There are methods for creating such a virtual printer by hand, but I used
this:

which makes creating the virtual PDF printer much easier.
some time around 6.16.2007 12:49 PM, someone named Peter Baxter typed these
words:
