take a look at this SO question. It is specific to C #, but since the libraries are .net compatible you should be fine

The PDFSharp library ( http://pdfsharp.com/ ) is what I used recently in a C # project. There are many advanced features, but luckily you can start with a few basic commands. Try it.

Word can be exported as pdf:

    Dim doc As Word.Document = New Word.Document()
    doc.Content.Text = "Hello World"
    doc.ExportAsFixedFormat("C:\mypath\myfilename.pdf", Word.WdExportFormat.wdExportFormatPDF)
    doc.Close(False)
