Microsoft has a free add-in to Office 2007 that gives you the option to save your Office documents to a PDF document.

Download the Create PDF and XPS add-in from Microsoft
For my example, I will show you how to convert a Word document to a PDF.
After you have downloaded and installed the add-in, open Microsoft Word. Now click on the office button and hover over “Save As” and click on the “PDF or XPS” option.
It will open the Publish menu and it should have the save as type selected as PDF by default. Save the document where you want it and click the “Publish” button.
NOTE: If you have the “Open file after publishing” option checked, your default PDF reader (typically Adobe Reader) will open and show you the new document. If you don’t have Adobe Reader installed, you will need to install it on your computer so you can view the PDF.
