I occasionally have a Microsoft WORD files or two which needs to be converted to PDF.
Formerly, I would just email those files to a friend, and he would convert them and email them back.
Unfortunately however, this friend is in the process of moving back to Europe.
So, my inquiry is – Is there anyone with the full Adobe Acrobat program who could help in converting an occasional Microsoft WORD file to PDF?

Hartzel, if you can’t find anyone, you could try Cutepdf writer, cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp
it’s a free download without any of that annoying “sample” watermark unless you buy it crap.
It installs in just a few minutes and you just use it like you wuold send the document to your printer, give it a filename and your all set.
You could get a PostScript printer driver, print your document into a file and convert it with a free online ps to pdf converter.
Here you can get the PostScript Printer drivers for Windows.

Here is the online converter.

There is plenty of cheap or free pdf writer software out there. Most of them you need to pay something like 20-50 USD to get from the trial version (which leaves watermarks etc or only prints the first page) to the full functional versions.
If you look a little bit more deeper, there are also several really free programms.
Try e.g. pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator
(haven’t tried that one by myself)
Let me know if it works, if not, I come up with more alternatives…
You could install OpenOffice.org. Just open the Word File in that program then export it as a PDF.
Or download a free program called PDF redirect. This installs itself as a printer, but instead of printing the file creates a PDF.
