In the PC world I used Acrobat to create my PDF's from Word documents.
Question: Is there a program I can use in the Mac world to also create PDF's without having to purchase the Mac version of Acrobat? Thanks

neo office is the name of the MAC version of open office. it wont be anywhere near as powerful as acrobat pro 8 though. all you can do is basically save word documents as PDFs. I dont think you can put them into the one PDF binder.

Adobe Acrobat can create PDFs from almost any Windows application via its virtual printer...
MS Office 2007 can create PDFs from any MS word (and related applications) document using a free addon from Microsoft...
And as mentioned earlier, OpenOffice... -

When you open the document, choose Print. You should see a dialog box similar to this:
Click the PDF button.

Most Photoshop (and perhaps Elements?) versions can save as .pdf.

Umm...guys, read what Xander posted. Mac OS X can convert any document into PDF natively without the use of any 3rd party apps.
I strongly recommend people who have obviously never touched Mac OS X before to at the very least do some slight research before attempting to help someone on the Mac board. Otherwise there is a high probability that your are giving them erroneous or useless information. -
Thank you to all who replied. Again, I've learned that Mac can natively create a .PDF. Thanks Xander!

Countless times I get, "Windows can do this PDF function with a special application". My answer generally is, "The Mac can do most PDF functions natively with no added software". We'll get the PC people converted soon enough when they realize the Mac works very independently. -
In Windows, I like using pdffactory for windows. No Mac version for this. It allows you to secure and collate multiple pages, delete and rearrange them before creating a pdf from any program (MS Office, web, other pdfs, etc). I have searched everywhere for a Mac equivalent for this, not to no avail. I may be wrong, but some Leopard features previewed showed something to this effect.--hope i am right.

If you want to collate documents etc. and create PDFs, you can use Combine PDFs. It is not a universal binary however, so it will run quite slowly. There are UB alternatives, but none as good or as powerful as Combine PDFs.
Program for making .PDF?
