Note if you have Microsoft Word 2007 the following may allow you to create PDFs from word 2007 ( i havent tried it out ) http://awows.blogspot.com/2008/04/convert-your-ms-word-documents-to-pdfs.html

To create a simple PDF with text and images we recommend you use a tool like OpenOffice ( available for free at www.openoffice.org ).

This is a suite of programs similar to Microsoft Office. The program in this Suite called 'Writer' allows you to create a document with text and images and allows you to save the document as a PDF.

You can open your existing MS Word Doc files or create a new document and choose File -> Export as PDF.

Choose the options you want from the dialog that appears and click Export to create the PDF.
