    Can anyone recommend a document converter

    Right so i need to convert a few documents to be attach to emails but apparently they are the wrong type. So can anyone point me in the right direction for a free download and very simple to use application that can convert text documents into pdf etc.
    I now await someone to show me something really simple and make me look a complete biff

    Father Ted: No...no Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism you're talking about there

    I'm on a Mac and I haven't tried it (I don't think?), so sorry if this is unhelpful, but, when I click on "file" then "print", there is a PDF option; "Save as PDF".

    Open Office has an export to pdf function.
    Thermite is the answer.

    The question is irrelevant.
