You need Adobe Acrobat (the full version not the reader). The latest version costs $450US for the professional version. Adobe has a trial of Acrobat 6 on their site. I'm not sure how functional the trial is but give it a try before spending the money.

edit: I just checked adobes site and they do have a cheaper version and also an online converter. They charge $9.99 per month for the online version.

An alternative would be to download the Open Office suite from Sun Microsystems. You can open Word documents and output to PDF (for free!).

There are plenty of other free converters out there, an example is http://www.clicktoconvert.com/index.html?source=e5

Normally, you have to print the document and then select the pdf converter as a printer. Choose how much compression and off you go..

Do a google for 'free pdf converters'

Good luck..

Thanks for the tips. I just got the brand new Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro and can't print a simple PDF from a Word Doc. 6.0 worked just fine, new upgrades....not so much.
