I'm new to Macintosh, but I've now got a MacBook Pro since Christmas. Does the Mac software include a function for making PDF files, which could spare me the high cost of Adobe Acrobat?
 
There are several PDF editors and Mac OS X does support printing almost anything to a .pdf file via the print command.

What is it you wanna make .pdf files of?

Also have a look at the following links, as the information presented there might be helpful in your future endeavours into Mac OS X and could clear up initial confusion and may even prevent harm to your system or your files.

You can "print" whatever you want as a PDF.

Just click on print on a document, and in the dialog, you have a button which stands "PDF" in the lower left corner of the dialog.
