Acrobat, but it creates simple PDFs for a much lower price ($20).
Unfortunately, what these products do is simply print an existing file into
PDF format. The Macro I am talking about preserves the structure of the Word
document, so that linked tables of content in word have their links
preserved, Figure tables that link to the figures and/or equations still
function correctly, sections are printed correctly, (normally a Word file
with multiple sections prints multiple PDF files that then have to be
joined), etc. As Leonard has pointed out, it's a really fantastic piece of
code that gives you excellent Acrobat documents.
But it's Windows only.
And from what I can tell, there is no way to practically replicate this on a
Mac via any combo of VBA and AppleScript.
Shame too.
