No.

You have to find or buy software to do it. Adobe do not have any such
software, but I think it exists. To start searching, what I would do
is use Google.

Certainly. The usual thing is to print from VB to a print driver using
drawing instructions. In this case the result is PCL, PostScript, or
whatever it needs to be according to the print driver.

Products do exist for this conversion, but Adobe do not make any such
product.
