Converting Multiple Docs to PDF?

[Penman61]

I'd like to convert multiple documents (usually a folder of Pages or a folder of Word for Mac docs) to PDF.

I'd like to do this with one action. I'd prefer not to have a separate app do this if I can do it via something like Automator (which I've not yet used) or some other built-in OS X function.

What's the best way?

I'm not sure about Automator. I've never messed around with it. But, could you set one up to print the files, and have the output set to a pdf?
