PDF is for sending stuff exactly as you want it. Exact same font, spaces, margins etc. If you don't need that, then you shouldn't use PDF. In almost every case, HTML is a better option than PDF.

PDF files are not created "from scratch". There is no Microsoft Word-like interface for creating them. You can only convert other documents created in other programs *to* PDF. Not even Adobe's ludicrously expensive Acrobat pro has a "PDF creator".

All of these free programs do pretty much the same thing. You print something to a virtual printer and it comes out as PDF. Adobe's Acrobat does the same thing, but it supports some extra options and programs.
