There are direct Text-to-PDF converters, e.g.
http://www.sanface.com/txt2pdf.html
http://www.davince.com/docs/txt2pdf.html
http://www.icewalk.com/softlib/app/app_00722.html
http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,10615,61268,.html

(I haven't checked if they're all the same software or if they
all can be run from MS-DOS)
