This is an odd thread to post such a question in...you should really try to find the appropriate place to post. I'll give you a simple answer anyway.
If you don't demand OpenType fonts or certain features, then a convenient way to go is to use OpenOffice Writer, which has a very decent export to pdf function built-in. I actually use this fairly often as it's got some nice features of its own. I don't do it for most of my final book settings because it doesn't work with OpenType yet. C'mon next version!
Others basically are just printer drivers that you can get...some I think are free, some are cheap, and others are expensive. I don't use these but I know there are a number of them around the net, and I'm sure some of them work well.
It's a stretch if you're not a designer, but other Adobe programs like InDesign also allow saving as pdf.
If you like the extra labor, you can look into TeX solutions as well.
