KoolWIRE: Yet another way to convert docs to PDF
The service is free, and KoolWire can convert Word (.doc), Powerpoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), Jpeg, GIF, Rich Text Format (.rtf), and text (.txt) files to PDF. It does a pretty good job with files that don't make heavy use of graphics. But when we took a quick screenshot of Download Squad, added it to a Word Document and uploaded it, the result came back a bit truncated.
You can do the same thing by uploading files to free file conversion service Zamzar, or for some documents, you can use the free Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Still, it's nice to have options.

Hmm, they don't mention anything about the size, so 10Mb must be a limit for outgoing/incoming files. So much for setting options on the pdf to be created. I'm sure they'll launch also a monthly paid service version with other options, but right now there are lot of other pdf converters.

Cutting and pasting html pages into a word file is always a risk if you want to convert to PDF. Had you "printed" to PDF the same file, chances are you would have got the same "trucated" result.
As for the size...I tried it with a 20MB ppt file and worked just great.

I've tried it and got faster and better results than with using latest Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof. Supports accented letters, word styles - creates bookmarks, underlines links within document (like in TOC) etc. Great service!
