Adobe - Online PDF converter from Acrobat.com
Competition from other PDF conversion software has caused the Adobe juggernaut to offer it's own conversion service.
Now you can convert up to 5 existing Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Open Office, Star Office, Word Perfect, and image files (BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG) to PDF. The advantage is that you know the file will be totally Adobe compatible.
You need to have Internet Explorer 6 or above, or Firefox 2.x and above, or Safari 3.x and above. To it's advantage, it is an easy to use web interface.
For self-publishers, it's a great way to get that finished (typeset and designed) file 'printer ready'.

It really doesn't take that much time to do a little research that will save you a lot of whining later.

Library of Congress's National Book Festival Attracts More Than 120,000 Book Lovers to the National Mall
What a beautiful day to browse books . . . outside. The seventh annual Library of Congress Book Festival was fantastic, and even more so for children. I was a bit jealous that I couldn't pose with Bulls Eye the Target Dog or get on the Magic School Bus.If you live in the metro DC area, don't miss this one next year. The kids will love it and you will too.
