google docs is excellent if you already have it in word/excel etc... you can save it as a PDF format, no downloading new software...

MS do a free tool to add in to Office 2007 apps to save as pdf.

pdfCreator is Open Source. Anything you can send to a normal printer (regardless of whether it's an OpenOffice document, Microsoft Word, firefox web page etc.) can be 'sent' to pdfCreator, which will create the pdf and save it on your computer:

If you are using an Apple Mac just select Print then "Save as PDF". Already built in to OSX and couldn't be much simpler.

I second PDFCreator per the above post from hubris - no nasty hidden catches once installed, absolutely free. Good also for saving web pages eg flight or accomm booking confirmations.

BTW this one also has the 'print to PDF' function and can also export the to-be-printed page to jpg and a list of other formats.

Another vote for CutePDF - you can "print" to a PDF file from almost any application, so it's probably the most compatible.

There's a tutorial on how to use it here.
