Free PDF Making software

    Looking for some good free PDF making software. I am after doing up a few assigments in word for college and i'd like to be able to save them as PDF files. It would be nice aswell if the tool would keep the internal links (table of contents) in the final PDF. Surely there are some opensource tools out there. I can't find any though.

    I don't think it can keep links, but OpenOffice is an open source Office replacement that has a "Save to PDF" option. Very useful for things like legal contracts, but also does what you want. Almost.

    Sweet, thanks for the replies lads.. PDFCreator seems to be the job although it doesn't support hyper links afaik. PDF995 was good aswell but i'm not a big fan of the ads it includes with the free version.

    I use CutePDF. You 'print' to it, and use it exactly like a printer.

    Don't have the link to it, but google should do it for you. Free, no ads. and always worked great for me.

    Doesn't unfortunately do the hyperlinking though
