Creation of PDF Appendix out of Word 2003

Hello to everybody
 
My name is Michael Offermann, I am from Germany (Cologne) and I am an electrical engineer.
 
I found this forum while I was searching the internet for an issue when creating PDF out of Word 2003. On my Windows XP PC I have installed Adobe Acrobat X Standard and MS Office 2003 (I know, its not very new software but I'm not in charge of this). I was wonderung if this forum won't be able to give me some hints where I can find more information, at least.
 
Ok, comming to my problem:
I am processing a lot of project related documents which needs to be updated frequently. This documents are typically written with Word and then converted to PDF. Up to now, to this PDF I add a lot of PDF appendices. Because these appendices get updated regular as well, I can not join them into a major appendix pdf.
 
And here my question:
Is it possible to link/point to some PDF files in the word doc which will be appended to the pdf while the pdf-creation? This would be a really comfortable process. Additionally, when the links in the word file would point to the lastest appendix, it would be an automatically up-to-date document.
 
Of course, I do not know if such a feature, or a similar one, is included in Acrobat. But it would be very great if somebody can help me. Even another solution for this would help.
 
Thanks in advance and a good start in the week!
