I’ve taken on updating a local sporting association’s website recently whereby I receive match results and averages etc. We also put up a downloadable match / team grid from which members can establish which team they are playing in any week. This comes to me in a spreadsheet but the previous administrator tells me that he converted them to pdf to avoid members being unable to access them as they happened to have an earlier version of MSExcel. He paid about a tenner for deskpdf from docudesk.com but being a bit stingy I thought I’d try and get a free version to do the same job. A friend gave me go2pdf but that seems to create a file with a .xps (?) extention; obviously only those with an application to read these files could view the download meaningfully. Looking at the literature for pdf995 it says it takes you to the company’s website every time it’s used. Does this refer to when I use it but not when someone is viewing the website? Anyone know of a free pdf creator that would do the job for me?

@cso Thanks for the suggestions
@Adiewoo I do have Office 2007, does this mean that I can just Save As a .xls to .pdf? At work (well, supposedly) at the minute so can't look

You install a plug in and then it's save as, download from here
Works for word, powerpoint, visio, publisher etc. I have used it and works pretty well.
