Word files to PDF (without printing to postscript)

["Heidi Von Markham" <heidi -at- gatespace -dot- com>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a tool that can automatically convert Word files to pdf?

My users, who refuse to install Word, need a way to quickly view files in
pdf.

I've read the archives and they address conversion from .ps using
Distiller's Watch folder, but not straight from .doc. I noticed the same
question has been posted before with no conclusive answers.

Google turns up some pricey, full-featured conversion tools (as well as a
basic VB script), but I'm looking for a simple, off-the-shelf, inexpensive
tool.

All leads are greatly appreciated.
