If you also want to add the Save As PDF functionality to Office 2007, you can add that into the deployment, as well.

Download the SaveAsPDF.exe file from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=f1fc413c-6d89-4f15-991b-63b07ba5f2e5

I saved it in the Updates folder of the network share with my Office 2007 install files, but you could put it on any network share.

From a machine with admin permissions to the Office 2007 Installer share, run this command:
\\ServerName\ShareName\setup /admin
This will open the Office Customization Tool.

Choose “Open an existing Setup customization file” & select the .msp file previously created for the Office installer.

Click on “Add installations and run programs”

Click “Add”

Enter the network path to the folder with the SaveAsPDF.exe file in it, e.g. file://servername/ShareName/Updates/saveaspdf.exe

In the “Arguments:” field, enter /quiet

Confirm that “Run this program after the Office product has been installed. (Recommended)” is selected.

Click OK.

Save the setup file & close the OCT.

Now when you run the setup program on successive target machines (using \\ServerName\ShareName\setup) , it will install Office 2007 and all of its updates, and the Save As PDF add-in, too.
