When I said "I'm not actually using Automator for this" what that really meant was it's all driven by a background daemon that is largely C++ but uses some NSStuff for putting together AppleScripts to drive Word, including having it execute some VBA under certain circumstances. Really & truly not appropriate as an Automator action ;-)
But I can definitely adapt your script into my app and see how that works for the PDF conversion step.
I'm almost getting excited about the hope that this can be done reliably in Word 2011; I should take a deep breath and come back to reality!
