An alternative to Adobe Distiller (part of Acrobat) is PDFCreator http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ which is free. This installs as a Windows printer (using GhostScript as a backend to generate PDFs). It should be relatively straightforward to use Python scripting to drive Word to "print" documents to the PDFCreator pseudo-printer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
