I never pay for Adobe products and I would like to make a PDF doc. Is it possible somehow to do it for free?
Thanks!

Google Docs allows you to save documents to a PDF. On Mac OS X, it is also possible to "print" literally anything to a PDF (just hit COMMAND+P, then use the PDF button to save the file). If you are into programming, you can use LaTeX to write your document and then use pdflatex to create a PDF. If you are trying to write a program that generates PDFs, the source code of LaTeX or OpenOffice should include a bit of code to generate PDF documents. There are probably other libraries to do this. |

For most case, I use pdfCreator. It install a virtual printer you can use all of your programs. When you print with this virtual printer it generates a pdf file corresponding to the same outpout you get with your printer :) |

Check out PDF995 - it installs as a printer driver, so you can go and "print" to it and it takes the output and makes it into a PDF. |

Are you trying to convert a MS Office file to PDF? If so, you could use OpenOffice. |
