Hello everybody

I have a strange question;-)
I have an Access application and some word (docx) documents.
Now I want to "convert" the word documents to PDF.

One possibility is with automation like
Code:
Dim objWord As Object
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(filename:="test.docx")
objDoc.SaveAs filename:="test.pdf", FileFormat:=17
etc....
That works fine...on a local machine. Unfortunately I need to work on a Citrix environment, and that's bad. Very unstable.

Now my question:
is there a chance of converting test.docx into a pdf WITHOUT automation and withouth opening Word?
I thought there could be an Office library that I could use directly.

Perhaps it's not possible. Does anybody know something?
I also tried to find something with PDFCreator, but all examples are with the current document. But I dont' like to open the document.

Thank you very much!

Daniel
