Solution 1:

If you have MS Office 2007, you can use the Save as PDF plugin.

Solution 2:

PDFCreator is a free print-to-pdf tool based on ghostscript. It's fairly good, although the output of Acrobat Distiller tends to be a bit nicer.

Solution 3:

If you want to do it programmatically and you're a .NET or Java programmer, you could use Aspose.Words in combination with Aspose.PDF.

It worked well for me.

EDIT: It seems that using a recent version, you only have to license Aspose Words.

Solution 4:

I regularly use - and recommend - PrimoPDF, which is available in both free and paid-for incarnations.
