PrimoPDF is a free PDF creation
program. The latest version can be downloaded
(about a 10MB file) from http://www.primopdf.com/.
Once
installed, just send any file from whichever program you
created them to the PrimoPDF 'printer'.
OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/),
a freeware office suite similar to Microsoft Office, can create PDF files. It's perhaps better than
PrimoPDF, but you'll have to install the whole suite (about
100 mb to download). Stil, it's a
pretty good package overall, made by volunteers.
Neither of the above offers as many options as Adobe, but they're free! Both will happily fit on your USB stick
