According to this thread, you need to have some add-on installed in Office 2007 in order to export to PDF.

Don't know what the add-on is, because the link is broken, but it's a good start.

Thanks for the thread, I had to install add-in for microsoft office2007 called as "Save as PDF", and it worked. The setup for add in can be found in the link https://filehippo.com/download_2007-microsoft-office-add-in-microsoft-save-as-pdf-or-xps/ . 

After installing the add-in a new icon appears in MS word as shown below.

And now the VI run without any errors. Thanks.
