    first you create your document with your images in MS Word, or some other program.. you then use a program like PrimoPDF, Adobe Acrobat, or those online sites to convert it into PDF format.

    You can use open office to convert files to pdf.

    There are lots of sites, you give them a doc file then they send the pdf to your email.

    Yep, that's what I was going to say. Open office is great, it's like a free version of Microsoft Word, only better :)

    I'll second that. Just use the word processing program in Open Office and then print to pdf file. By far the best solution if you do not own a full version of Microsoft Office. Don't waste money on that office suite when you can get Open Office for free and in many cases (such as this one) it's a lot more useful.
