Accessible "save as pdf" plug ins for Word on OSX

Hello everyone

I am having issues with pdf fliers generated by a disabilities-organization.
I have been in touch with them and they say they simply use the "save
as pdf" option in Word (presumably Office 08 or 09 for Mac, I am not
entirely up-to-date on the office versions in OSX).
Does anyone have an accessible "save as .pdf" plug in or checker, or
advise, for Mac users?
Of course there is the alternative Word document option, which is not
bad, but if I could teach them to make their .pdfs better, that'd
definitely be helpful.
Thanks
