Distill Word Doc to PDF

[AZ Pete]

Hi all, 

I have a few MS Word docs that I need to distill into PDF documents.
I do not have the Adobe Acrobat Suite distiller software (WAY too
expensive).
Does anyone know of any freeware/shareware utilities that can take an
MS Doc and distill it into PDF format.  Some of the documents are text
only with minimal "fancy" formatting.  However, some of them have
embedded pictures, charts, fancy fonts & formatting that must be
preserved.

Preferably I'd like the utility to run on a Linux platform, but I also
have several Windows boxes at my disposal (98/2K/XP).

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
