Create PDF documents

[Hara]

I know this is basic Computer 101 but I need help. Want to convert RTF documents into PDF format. Have downloaded (freeware) PDF995 Printer Driver version 8 and Converter version 1.1. Also updated to Adobe Reader 7.0.9.
Questions
1. How do I create pdf documents? Please use one syllable words. My tech proficiency is like a 2.
2. How do I convert my RFT documents to PDF format?
Have attempted to follow help suggestions but when I go to 'file' this is nothing there like in the instructions. I know I'm doing sometime (everything) wrong but I don't know where. Please put me on right track. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

You install the printer driver, then you print and select the printer driver as the "printer". You'll get a prompt as to where to store the PDF file. I'm presuming you are printing the RTF documents from Word, right?

I can't comment on that printer driver...but I use Bull Zip with GhostScript for PDF converting.
Also, OpenOffice.org has this built in. I use this too.

Why didn't you pimp CutePDF?

Well, he already had a perfectly functional PDF printer application, so I figured I'd just tell him how to use it.
