If you need full support for all PDF features, you are right.
If you can live with PDF documents that are equivalent to printed ones (no
indexes, no searches, no hyperlinks, no tables of contents and so on) there
is a freeware solution for Windows that allows to produce PDF files by
printing on a "PDF printer" from Windows applications.
The simpler solution, from the user point of view, consists in assembling
together AFPL Ghostscript, the RedMon port Monitor and FreePDF, but it is
possible to use Ghostscript and RedMon only, at the price of a harsher user
interface.
