Due to an update an old VB6 code (written in 2007) no longer worked. After a lot of time wasted searching in the net, I rewrote the code to create a PDF from any file.
Enjoy this code and share it 
-------------------------------------------------
A) add in references 'PDF Creator - Your opensource …'
Sub PDFCreator_CreatePDF(srcFORM As Form, srcFILE As String, dstFILE As String)
Dim myPDF As New PdfCreatorObj
Dim pdfQUEUE As New Queue
Dim myJOB As PrintJob
If myPDF.IsInstanceRunning Then
MsgBox “PDF-Creator is already in use.” & vbNewLine & _
“Wait for session end”, _
vbInformation, _
“WARNING”
Exit Sub
End If
srcFORM.MousePointer = vbHourglass
pdfQUEUE.Initialize
Call myPDF.PrintFile(srcFILE)
Do Until pdfQUEUE.Count > 0
DoEvents
Loop
Set myJOB = pdfQUEUE.NextJob
Call myJOB.SetProfileSetting(“OpenViewer”, “false”)
Call myJOB.ConvertTo(dstFILE)
Do Until myJOB.IsFinished
DoEvents
Loop
Call pdfQUEUE.ReleaseCom
Set myJOB = Nothing
Set pdfQUEUE = Nothing
Set myPDF = Nothing
srcFORM.MousePointer = vbNormal
End Sub
-------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command2_Click()
’ sample of use
PDFCreator_CreatePDF Me, _
App.Path & “\test.doc”, _
App.Path & "\test.pdf"
End Sub
