Open Office Writer(at leas the 2.0 Novell Edition) has a pdf button bult right in. So all you have to do is open the file, click the button, and wham, you are done. Text, Spreadsheet,Presentation, anything readable by OO is made into PDF.

That help?

1) pdftex from tex source code to pdf
2) latex to produce a dvi output and then use dvipdf

I prefer the second method. If you used TeXnicentre with Miktex then if I recall well the second mehtod was used to produce the pdf file. If you want a Texnicentre look-like tex editor then have a look to kile.

Code:
latex whatever.tex
compile to DVI
Code:
pslatex whatever.tex
compile to PostScript
Code:
pdflatex whatever.tex
