PDFs without additional software?

[Jewtus]

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to create PDF files without needing to have an additional program on the machine (most tutorials/UDFs talk about 3rd party tools like www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/160875-debenu-quick-pdf-library-udf/). 

I'm wondering if there is a way to use an adobe object (EX ObjCreate("AcroPDF.PDF.1")) or even with word/ppt/internet explorer/other standard windows tools.

Anyone know if this is a possibly? If so, please point me in the right direction.

With Word (from the help file) just use _Word_DocSaveAs and change the file type parameter:

#include <Word.au3>
$sPath = @DesktopDir & "\My.doc"

$oWord = _Word_Create()
$oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sPath)
Sleep(2000)

_Word_DocSaveAs($oDoc, @DesktopDir & "\My.pdf", $WdFormatPDF)
Sleep(2000)
_Word_Quit($oWord)

[Exit]

I think this only works if you have installed additional software MS Office/Word.
