RE: Converting documents to PDF
www.adobe.com
all the information is available there. You can even find an opportunity to convert up to five documents to pdf online.

Am not interested in http sites that you send the document to and get the conversion returned.

RE: Converting documents to PDF
I searched for free conversion utilities online and found only shareware which placed a huge "Demo" banner across the output (see www.tucows.com). Fortunately, my wife is a graphic artist and had the full Adobe program. Good thing too, the program is quite expensive.
Women can be surprisingly useful at times

With that your MS-Office documents, Word, Excel, Powerpoint among others can be created with one click to PDF format.
Also all the points related to security, search capability, launching other programs from your PDF document are taken to the limit. And you are not bound to an specific operating system.

RE: Converting documents to PDF
Another tool I have found useful is a non-Adobe program that will distill PostScript documents to PDF. This particular one is called PStill, and can be found at www.pstill.com . You can download a free version, but the paid version is not expensive. It has both a gui and non-user-interacting version that can be called programmatically. You can't do this with the regular Acrobat distiller, as it will want to come up within a logged-on user and get some interaction.

Free online convertor (useful for one-offs)

AFPL Version is free for non-commercial use
http://www.ghostscript.com/
Excellent value @ $19.99 and installs as a printer http://www.software602.com/products/printpack/
but you can't edit the documents however...
this editor is very cheap compared to Adobe and is very good
