primopdf at www.primpdf.com is free and excellant..
In fact a MVP posted it on the microsoft word newsgroup and he said it
worked great so i wanted to try it out.
I put it on 4 xp machines and it does a great job. It doesn't leave
advertising like alot of free pdf makers and you can actually set up
security with it too in its options.
I have adobe 8.0 reader on and it opens the pdfs just fine.
It creates a virtual pdf printer and works in word and excel (where i tested
it so far) and i had no problems with it at all.
check it out- i am sure you will be pleased as I am.

Also I found on 2 computers it was giving me a sidebyside event 59 in event
viewer.
after sending an email to the company (who recommended the same) and doing
some research on the internet I found if you install this file from
micorosoft problem goes away.
just in case you run into this as I did. (and I have ms network framework
2.0 with security updates on both those computers but still got this error
msg and this file corrected it.

it will download this file vcredist_x86.exe

If you get this error msg you can do this too
 
That one letter error did indeed make a significant difference! Thanks for
the free version, and especially your correction!!!
 
Yes, thanks Robin, your link couldn't have come at a better time for me.
First time in years I've needed to create a write protected PDF document
and PrimoPDF did do a nice job.
