Google for Ghostscript & ghost view
PDF files are Postscript, the procedure is you create a non existant Postscript printer set to print to file (use a name like anything.ps)
Then open this file in Ghostview and print to Ghostscript to create the pdf file.

IIRC that works but the files are big- an Adobe PDF document can contain text and graphics stored seperately whereas the Ghostscript / Ghostview combo
creates a picture out of the whole page..... Or at least that what seems to happen from my experiments before....

Not really a PDF file is just a Postcript file in a sightly different format.

Another alternative to Ghostview which is supposed to be more usr friendly is pdfcreator
http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator
Also Open Office Writer will write PDF files and export other documant formats to PDF
just looked Abiword will do it also
