You and others have suggested variations on this theme, but this does not solve Paul's problem. He wants to use the CreatePDF macro in Word in order to preserve links (printing to Distiller doesn't do that).

So what he needs is some way of invoking that macro in a batch process. It seems to me that there ought be be a way to write a Word macro that would run through all the files in a particular directory. As long as Paul remembers to launch that macro before he goes home, he should be all set, right?
