Microsoft Word 2007 has the ability to save doc or docx files as PDFs. I had to to do it for an online job application. It's not hard at all. If you have that version of Word, you can do it yourself. Otherwise, any of us who have it could do it for you!

Another thing you could do, is print out the document file, and then scan it back into the computer using a scanner, and save it as a PDF. You'd probably have to do this at a store like FedEX, Kinkos if you only have a flatbed scanner/don't have a scanner at all. That would be cheaper and save you from having to buy software you probably won't use again.

Have you got a tutorial link? That's been part of my frustrationis I have word 7 but I don't have any of the options the help site told me I should have :( it showed this adobe bar thing and my version wasn't showing that so I'd begun to think it was a paid for add on ^^

There's no Adobe bar at all. All you do is:

1)Open document file.
2)Go to the little windows icon where you can get to the save menu.
3)Choose Save As.
4)Pick "PDF or XPS"
5)Enter a name and then click publish.

It will have saved to your main Documents folder. If you can't do it yourself, I can always do it for you! =)

If you have Open Office, the word processor program can convert any text/word document into PDF.

Oh no, I don't think I have that. Is that a free program?

Yup! But it doesn't agree with all computers so be wary.
