(This gets you nice looking PDFs supporting most if not all of the
features PDFs can do, for the cost of the OS you run, the computer you
run it on,  bandwidth required to get yourself a LaTeX distribution, and
the time it takes to learn LaTeX if you don't already know it.)

(alternatively, get Ghostscript (free), install a PS Printer driver
(i.e. almost any printer with 'PS' in its name), using 'file:' as the
device its connected to, use the PS printer driver to print to a file,
then use ps2pdf (included in Ghostscript) to convert the .ps file you've
created into a .pdf one. It won't have all the marvellous features that
PDFs can support (being a printed file), but it's better than a Word
document (which I won't touch with a 3.048 metre pole).)

(even more alternatively, I think MacOS X has a native PDF printer built
in, given that it uses DisplayPDF to display stuff onscreen.)
