Open source software utility converts files into pdf fomat:
-----------------------------------------------------------
An open source software utility that provides a way to convert files
into Adobe PDF (portable document format) is now available for
download. The software, which has achieved a stable release, is useful
for quickly converting plain text files or .DBF database records to
PDF format, providing a read-only, cross-platform way to view and
print data, according to project leader Vasudev Ram. Support for
additional source file formats is planned in future releases.

Ram says xtopdf has no OS-dependent code, and should work on any
platform where Python runs, including Linux, Unix, and Windows. It
requires Python 2.2 or higher, as well as the open source version of
the ReportLab toolkit, which is also written in Python.

Version 1.0 of xtopdf is an open source project on SourceForge.
