I would like to click a "Create PDF" button in Adobes toolbar visible in
Word.
How do I do that from VBA-code?

Adobe provides this functionality with its add-in pdfmaker.dot which should
be installed in the Office start-up folder by the install routine.

Thanks Graham,

I've used that macro in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat, but cannot find
it in my recently installed version (7.0 Professional).
Is there no way to adress and click a certain button in Adobes toolbar?

Acrobat 7 uses a COM add-in and frankly it should never have been released
in its present condition. For a start it commits the cardinal sin of
preventing Word from functioning correctly, by blocking Word's ability to
save changes in normal.dot. I don't think there is going to be a simple
answer to this, though others may think differently :)
