I've messed with this, with a bit o' sucess . . .

First off -- don't you mean "Abobe Acrobat" instead of "Pagemaker"?
Acrobat (as opposed to the free Acrobat Reader) only costs $30-$40, and
will render Word to PDF by hitting a button in Word.

As far as free software goes, there isn't much.  Abiword on Linux has a
PDF Writer that almost works, but the Windows version doesn't have it.  A
quick Google turned up this page:

http://www.pathcom.com/~kujira/pdf7.htm

Which has some info (do a search on RTF).  I dunno how well it would work
on Window, though. 

Your best bet it to spend $40 on Acrobat.  On click, it's done.
