Lou,
Ironically, someone on one of my groups just posted about a free PDF
conversion utility.

It's called Primo PDF and is located here:

http://www.primopdf.com/. <http://www.primopdf.com/>

I'm just now downloading it but, you might be encouraged by this from their
homepage:

   [image: Download PrimoPDF Now!]
   - FREE PDF Converter - not a trial version.
   - Print to PDF from virtually any application.
   - Create PDF output optmized for print, screen, ebook, or prepress.
   - No annoying pop-up ads, no registration requirement - no catch!
   - High-quality, easy to use PDF creator for all users.

Hope this helps, Lou.
