Word can export 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)

take a look at this SO question. It pertains to C# but since the libraries are .net compat..you should be ok

UPDATE http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsharp/ and http://www.pdf-technologies.com/

The PDFSharp library (http://pdfsharp.com/) is something I used recently in a C# project. There are a lot of advanced features but fortunately you can start with just a few basic commands. Give it a try.

You can export to a PDF file using a Crystal Reports object, which comes packaged with Visual Studio.
