I've got to create an advert in .pdf form but haven't a clue where to start. Is there any free, easy to use software about to create this?

This is probably one of the most frequently asked questions on this forum.

As ever my recommendation is:

http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp

It acts as a printer driver so allows you to create your file in any application before 'printing' it to a .pdf file.

As an after tip to any readers...

Put free pdf into Google and you will get quite a few results

I tend to use: http://online.primopdf.com

It's all handled online - simply choose your file and enter your email address. The PDF is then created and sent to you within about a minute.

Fast, free and nothing to download!

God, I sound like a salesman here...!

I think sadly this is only an option with MS Word 2007 onwards?

If you can't print to PDF from your version of office, there are plenty of "PDF printers" out there, e.g. PDF 995 - free version has nagverts, but otherwise works fine.

Sigh.

Why does everybody make things so longwinded. Don't pay Mr Gates any more money, just download OpenOffice (for free) and import or create your documents then just click on the toolbar icon to save as a pdf.
