Can't save as PDF after Office 2007 SP installation

[surreal]

Dear Sirs,

after installing Office 2007 SP2 I can't save Word/PowerPoint files to PDF
anymore.
More specifically, I can't export to PDF if the file contains embedded
objects like equations; if the file is purely Word, or purely PowerPoint,
export to PDF works, otherwise it fails at the end of the conversion with an
error message like "The export failed due to an unexpected error."
I found the hotfix for such a problem on kb958137; after extracting the
hotfix, it started and tried to detect the "installed product", and it
stopped claiming that "the product" was not installed.
I figure out that this may depend on the fact that kb958137 was released
before SP2, so the version of some file/component might have changed in the
meanwhile.
What can I do next to solve this problem? I don't want to install other
PDF-writing software, I felt comfortable with "Save as PDF".
Needless to say, I also tried to uninstall/install SaveAsPDFandXPS or
SaveAsPDF, but nothing changed.
Thanks in advance

I have the same error. Only happens with Word 2007 SP2. I have isolated the
cause of the error to be the equations from the equation editor. References
work without problems. This used to work fine on SP1. I do not have a
solution to this problem.

I am using Windows 7 x64 RC.

I would like to thank Microsoft, for causing me lose precious nerve cells due
to the frakking Word 2007 not being able to save my 100-page long thesis
without crashing or meeting an unexpected error. Tell you what, it's not that
unexpected, if it's from Microsoft, or any other software company from that
matter, because there is not a frakking day when I don't have to spend hours
with tinkering stuff to work. And this is coming from someone with a CS
thesis waiting to be printed.
