Does anyone know of any free, easy-to-use, decent-quality DOC-to-PDF conversion software? If you sign up with Adobe, they’ll convert five documents online for you in a trial run, but after that it starts to get pricey. What I’m looking to do is convert Monty Python Society newsletters into PDF for easier download. I don’t really want to buy the Acrobat software, and I wonder if there’s anything more convenient than marching over to a computer lab on campus that already has it installed. Quality’s an issue, but free is the operative word.

1. Where are you right now? In my office, at the computer, writing a letter to a gentleman in India about a paper we cannot send him. (Even sending the letter could be tough, since his address, if that’s what it is, doesn’t appear to be in English.)
2. What time is it? 10:43, or so says the computer’s clock. It looks like Blogger is at least a minute ahead.
3. What are you wearing? Tan pants, brown dress shirt, white t-shirt, brown shoes, black socks, boxer shorts, eyeglasses.
4. Any people or animals around you? Describe them. My boss is next door. Accurately describing him might get me into trouble.
5. What are your plans for the weekend? I plan to clean my apartment, go grocery shopping, work on the Monty Python Society website, and see Adaptation. That’s about it.
