Open office? 1.0.2 installed nicely, runs fine, but doesn't have a save as PDF that I've ever found. The installer for 1.9 was a piece of junk. It wouldn't install where I wanted it, didn't configure the software right, and made OO a pain to use. (I don't recall it doing PDFs either) I dumped it off my computer (it wouldn't uninstall cleanly, either). I'll give the current version a try. Will 1.1.5 do it, or do I need 2.0?

Openoffice has supported writing PDFs since 1.1. See here.

For what it's worth, I've been using 2.0 personally since it was an alpha on 4 different computers, and I've installed it on about two dozen other computers without a hitch. If you ran into a problem installing it, I'd try shutting down all other programs before installing it, in case something that's running on your computer is interfering with it.
