If you just want something converted to a PDF, so you can give it to someone, or post it on your web site, then consider PDF995, a free tool available for download at www.pdf995.com/.
It is part of a suite of three utilities from Software995. Pdf995 is basically a printer driver, it installs as a psuedo printer. When you want to create a PDF from your application you just select Print from its file menu and then select the Pdf995 printer for the output. Pdf995 will accept the print stream from the application and write a PDF file for you. This software is so simple to use, and it does exactly what it says on the tin (ack. Ronseal). See this page as printed by Pdf995.
The other two utilities can be found at the same site, one is a PDF editor and the other a signature facility. These utilities may be used for free if you accept the sponsor page when you use them. You can eliminate the advert by buying a license for a modest fee.
