Just print to postscript (set up a generic postscript printer if you have to for the app you want ot print from) and then use ps2pdf to convert to pdf and voila! What's more you can join postscript files together with psmerge first and then convert to pdf. I've been doing it since I got mine. You can do this without installing anything.

I think I went to printers and set up a generic postscript driver and printed to postscript (save to file in the printing dialog) then used ps2pdf to convert to pdf. What's more you can use psmerge to join postscript files together before you convert to pdf. Both were installed by default on mine. Actually the KDE file manager includes a print to pdf function by default (if you use it to view jpg files for example) and the firefox web browser includes an option to print to postscript so you might not even have to set up a postscript driver.
