In Windows I use a utility called Bullzip PDF Printer.  It installs as 
an additional printer so all I have to do is print the document, choose 
Bullzip as the printer and I have a PDF version.  It can also create 
multiple page PDFs by appending to an existing PDF file.

Is there a comparable OS utility?

Kind regards,

Julian
