I’m assuming this is a result of the PDF format going open source but you can now install an add-on for Office 2007 to give you the ability to directly save your documents in the PDF or XPS file formats.

The ability to save a file as PDF is also available (and has been for a while) in OpenOffice.org.
I know but I just can’t bring myself to use it. I’ve got it running as a portable app on my flashdrive as a backup but still… I’m used to MS Office, my publishers require I use MS Office, and honestly, Office 2007 is Sweeet.
