What's wrong with this code, it's creating 0 bytes size pdf file. Is their any other way to convert .doc to .pdf with VB code, i have Acrobat distiller installed in my comp.

Private Sub btnConvert_Click()
Dim msWord As New Word.Application

msWord.Visible = True
msWord.ActivePrinter = "Acrobat Distiller"
msWord.Documents.Open App.Path & "\test.doc"
msWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut , , , App.Path & "\test.pdf"
msWord.ActiveDocument.Close False

' Should check and quit word when done
msWord.Quit False
Set msWord = Nothing
End Sub
