Not trying to stir up a bee's nest, but decisions should be based on 
correct information.

A quick search on the net found Adobe Acrobat (which includes 
Distiller) selling for $200 both for Mac or for PC.  & there are of 
course  shareware programs that will do the same thing for $15-$30...  
As for needing hardware I cant imagine what your speaking of.  I make 
pdfs constantly from a whole variety of programs including photoshop, 
quark, indesign, word, illustrator & all you need is a computer.  & the 
only time it takes is waiting while it processes, assuming your 
original documents are in a page layout program or a word processor.  A 
document the size of Pomona would take 5-20 minutes depending on the 
speed of the processor.
