This is something I do quite often using Win Ovation Pro.
As Jeremy notes you have a virtual printer installed, in my case
PDFCreator (From Sourceforce, http://www.pdfforge.org/download latest
version 0.9.9)
This can then be selected from the Ovation Pro Print dialogue window in
the same way you'd select a harware printer, and that's it.
And as Jeremy also notes, once installed, the Virtual printer is available
to print a PDF from almost any Windows application.
