Google Docs is the best tool for the job in my opinion. Other options are, downloading a PDF printer, and using OpenOffice.

Here is a completely free way to do it that even preserves your links: Download Open Office at openoffice.org and then watch this very short video that shows you exactly how to do it. It's a matter of 3 or 4 clicks to convert your document. |

pdf995.com also has free software, including editing. You can pay under $10 for the full version, but you don't even need to do that. I also use the Bullzip PDF print driver (free) -- it's one of the best I've found (out of about 6 I've looked at as alternatives to Adobe's software). And there are sites online that'll convert the file free (although if you use non-standard fonts they won't convert -- they MAY convert if you embed them in Word, but I haven't tried that)... Google "free online doc to pdf converter" and I'm sure you'll find a few results. |

Check out CutePDF.com. The CutePDF writer installs itself as a "printer subsystem". This way any Windows application that can "print" can create a PDF file. I've used it with Word and it works very well. There are several other free ones out there too...you shouldn't have to pay for a product unless you really need more sophisticated editing tools that don't come standard. |
