Ghostscript contains an output device named "pdfwrite" to turn PostScript files into PDFs. You can read more about at http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Ps2pdf.htm.

For "dumb" conversion try text2pdf by Phil Smith.
For creating PDF manuals in DOS I recommend Lout + Ghostscript or Halibut.
Another one is MakePDF by Herbert Kleebauer, but it requires more knowledge about PDF internals.

I've never tested 1999 PasPDF.
