Default Automated Print from Excel to PDF

Each month, I create many Excel spreadsheets that I manually save as PDFs for
distribution to my team. I'd like to automate this process using a macro.
I've seen the following code online and have attempted to use it, but receive
an error in the Dim MyPDF line of code indicating that the user-defined type
is not defined.

I'm using Excel 2003 and Acrobat Distiller 8. I have no problem creating
PDFs manually

THANKS!

Sub create_pdf()

' Define the postscript and .pdf file names.
Dim PSFileName As String
Dim PDFFileName As String
PSFileName = "c:\myPostScript.ps"
PDFFileName = "c:\myPDF.pdf"

' Print the Excel range to the postscript file
Dim MySheet As Worksheet
Set MySheet = ActiveSheet

MySheet.Range("A1:P267").PrintOut copies:=1, preview:=False, _
ActivePrinter:="Acrobat Distiller", printtofile:=True, collate:=True, _
prtofilename:=PSFileName

' Convert the postscript file to .pdf
Dim myPDF As PdfDistiller '<==== ERROR HE User-defined type not defined
Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller
myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, PDFFileName, ""

End Sub
