Word Header underLines vanish when converting to pdf using distiller

Hi,

This is a vb6 application in which i am using the distiller to create pdf from word doc.
The word documents that i am trying to convert has a border in the header/footer.
The creation of the pdf works fine except for the fact that -
the border is missing in the pdf.
I investigated more into this and found that it is the postscript file that is the culprit.
My code for creating the postscript file is as follows.

moWord.ActivePrinter = PDFPrinterName
moSourceDocument.PrintOut OutputFileName:=sPostScript, PrintToFile:=True, Background:=False

However if i open the word document manually and generate the postscript file using Printeroptions, and then use the distiller to convert it, it works fine and the border is visible.

But if i use the Distiller on the postscript file produced by the code, the border is not visible.

Is there any printer settings that need to be set before invoking .Printout Function, so that the borders are included?

Thanks
Kamath
