I'm ashamed to admin that I did it on my windows machine :-o  *hangs 
head in shame*
I downloaded "Primo PDF" ( http://www.primopdf.com/ ) which is a free 
PDF printer driver for windows. It creates a virtual printer, that when 
you print something to it, creates a PDF and lets you save it. A 
terrible solution I know, but like I said I was in quite a hurry and 
didn't have time to do research on how to Do The Right Thing (Tm)  :)
