I did something like this a few years ago, and used OLE Automation of Word 2000 and "PDFCreator" http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/[^]. An important issue for me was that I wanted the Word TOC/Index hyperlinks to be active in the final PDF, and just printing to a PDF printer lost than capability. For this, I added "PDF-T-Maker" http://www.transcom.de/transcom/en/2004_pdf-t-maker.htm[^] to the mix. The final result could give you whiplash just watching the window pops on the screen, but it did work... resnbl
