Adobe Acrobat Reader (AFAIK it has a full screen mode)

You can generate PDF files using OpenOffice too, or the tools from AFPL
"ghostscript" - free, IIRC.

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

You have to install "ghostscript", the console postscript file
manipulation tool, and "gsview", the graphical utility. Then install a
"fake" postscript printer driver (there are many of them in a Windows
install disk, their names normally ended with a PS) connected to the
port "FILE". When you wish to generate a postscript file from any
application, choose to print to that specific printer and it will ask
you the name of the file; put on a name ended with ".ps" and then open
it with "gsview" where there will be an option to export to PDF.

Simple, isn't it? ;-)

There's another tool, that enables to create a printer driver
redirection port to the input of another program, thus generating the
PDF directly without having to deal with the postscript file, but this
is a little bit more complex:

Hope this helps
