Am I likely to have a facility on this m/c to create pdf files?

No, Macs come with the ability to create and manipulate PDF documents
built in (and to script the manipulation of those files) but heck you
buy inferior, you get inferior.

If you want to create PDF documents for free on Windows I suggest Cute
PDF. It's free, easy to use and produces better output than the Adobe
Distiller.

Cute's OK.

But I prefer
http://www.bullzip.com/
or
http://www.dopdf.com/ (which doesn't need Postscript).

And there are even more still.

I used to use FreePDF XP, but it seemed to leave Postscript copies of
what you had 'printed' to PDF in various unexpected places in my PC.
