Sure they have. Grab the latest PS drivers from Adobe.com, install, and
setup as print to file. Just e-mail the results around. (mmm...post script.)
When you recive the ps file, view with ghostview or run ps2pdf. You can even
get GS utilities for Windows. 

The only easier way I can think of to do it with free software is set up a
printer shared by samba that instead of printing, spits out a pdf file in
the users home share (or e-mails it to them.) 

Beyond that, you'll have to get Acrobat Writer. 

PS is kinda nifty for sending documents around (At least in the UNIX world).
Using zip, gzip, or bzip2 on it before sending it probally a good idea
though.
