This simple process may be obvious to some people, but was eureka for me:

1. Open MS-Office document. Click File --> Print. Select a PostScript
printer (look for PS in printer name). Enable "Print to file". Click "OK".
Specify filename as .prn. Save.

2. Open .prn in GSView. Click File --> Convert. Select pdfwrite
device (default). Click OK. Specify PDF filename.

That is it! You get a PDF file.

You can download GSView free of cost from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

There are other (expensive) options:

1. Subscribe to Adobe's online service ( $9.99 per month or $99.99 per
year).
2. Buy Adobe Acrobat ( $249 per seat ) or Adobe Distiller Server ( $5000.00
for 100 users )

open source is great!!
