Yes, most programs do come with an export to PDF. Actually it was only from MS Office 2007 that some of their programs could save to PDF (another reason I prefer Open Office / Libre Office - they had PDF export way before, even allowing stuff like document contents tree inside the PDF made from the header sections in the document).

But not all programs have this functionality e.g. say you want to save an email to PDF, see if Outlook has a save to PDF. With these virtual PDF printers you can do it from any program which can print.
