Another simple method is to install ghostscript and gsview, then if you print to file you can open the postscript file in gsview and convert it to pdf. One nice thing I have found with this is that it usually generates smaller file sizes for your pdf document. It is also gpl software. You can find it at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

One problem though is that some printer drivers, particularly HP don't use standard postscript so if you print to file you won't be able to read it. The solution is to install a separate printer driver that is fairly generic and set it to always print to file. Mine is set to an Apple Color LW 12/660 PS which is uses standard postscript and generates nice ps files. Open it in gsview, make sure that gsview has the page layout set to 8.5 x 11 and convert it to pdf.

PDF995 drops in nicely, and works well.  You can yse it as Adware (it opens
a browser and goes to their homepage every time you print a PDF) or license
it for far cheaper than Acrobat.

I've done this same search, and this was the best I found...

Another relatively cheap option is pdffactory. Some of my clients use this one. It cost $50 to register a copy, but you can download a trial IIRC, to test it out.
