> Hi all,
>
> I have a few MS Word docs that I need to distill into PDF documents.
> I do not have the Adobe Acrobat Suite distiller software (WAY too
> expensive).
> Does anyone know of any freeware/shareware utilities that can take an
> MS Doc and distill it into PDF format.  Some of the documents are text
> only with minimal "fancy" formatting.  However, some of them have
> embedded pictures, charts, fancy fonts & formatting that must be
> preserved.

> Preferably I'd like the utility to run on a Linux platform, but I also
> have several Windows boxes at my disposal (98/2K/XP).

> Any help would be appreciated.
