Hold on, I got what you want...

This is a combination of ghostscript and freepdf, along with the installation instructions. It's real easy to make a multi page pdf with this...

I use pdf995 ($9.95 for the basic version) that works, like madjack's, as a dummy printer. If you get the full suite (all of $20) they provide a 'combiner' that allows you put together multi-page pdfs (or take them apart) after you've made single-page pdfs - the benefit of that is that you can combine pages from different applications in one pdf.

If any of you guys have free pdf-makers that can do that, it'd be good to know as it's a question that gets asked fairly often.
