Convert docs to PDF online, free
Need to create a PDF file? Don't want to bother downloading/buying/installing software to make PDFs, or stuck at a library or internet kiosk where you can't? Enter PDF Online. It's a free service that will convert (almost) any document you upload into a PDF file. It supports lots of file formats, including most Office documents (e.g. Word/DOC, Excel/XLS, PowerPoint/PPT), plus HTML and plain text files, and the most common image formats including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and PNG. All you have to do is upload your document with the PDF Online web form and enter your email address, and the PDF will be emailed to you. I tried it with an Excel file and I received the PDF in less than 30 seconds. The PDF looked good and even my Excel charts were displayed correctly. If you're feeling advanced you can also tweak a few options, like font embedding, security and watermarks, and image resolution and compression.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

You can also use OpenOffice.org 2.0 to export to PDF or install PDF Creator, which adds itself to your printers and you can print to PDF from any program that supports printing. Both are very effective at the task. Also, both are open source apps.

Any what do they do with all the docs you upload to them to convert when they are done with the conversion?
