"...Did you know that OS X creates PDFs for nothing, Mac users? Check out your print dialog box...."
Did you know that Linux does it too?

And so does Google docs!
One feature that I really miss from PDF converters is the ability to create hyperlinked ToC in PDF, either from .doc or a .html file. I remember using lout/latex several years ago which used to create the ToC too.
On a similar note, Adobe's upcoming mars file format is much easier to make (from XML etc.) and has some very good features.

If you get a PDF that won't allow you to print it, use xpdf on linux.
novaPDF ( http://www.novapdf.com ) could be included in that list of "Desktop Ripping" tools.

Useful list. Thanks.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but I use a pdf converter widget from pdf24.org. it works well, though lacks configuration features that a power user might want. but it's free.
they have other tools, too.
