If you're running SharePoint 2010 enterprise then you should use word automation services see Convert Word Document to PDF Using SharePoint and Word Automation Services

Not a free solution, however for the benefit of others you can use the Sharepoint range from Aspose to convert Word to PDF in Sharepoint without using word automation.
