Printing A PDF File From A Word Document

Hi,
I wish to create a pdf file from a word document. I have got this program ready in VB. It uses the word object library and ADOBE DISTILLER to convert word documents to PDF files. That is working fine. However if I call this program through a jsp file, it doesn't work. It just hangs around until I go and kill the process.

I have got DISTILLER and Word both installed on the machine, so its definitely not a question of the right libraries.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Abhijit

I just searched at java.sun.com for printing postscript and there was a line above it saying printing in pdf or application/pdf. It mentioned a Print API.
